Hui La Liem

Today We Make a Scene

Hui La Liem

Look how the old lady bursts into applauseMira com rebenta l'auela a aplaudir
When she sees her drunk son parading byQuan veu passar borratxo al seu fill desfilant
With two civil guards and a local copAmb dos guàrdia civils I un municipal
The mayor representingL'alcalde representant

Look at the beast as it walks downhill, mistreatedMira l'animal com camina cara avall, maltractat
A clear reflection of a stagnant stateClar reflex d'un estat estancat
We’ve bumped into the churchAmb l'església hem topat
Anti-party in prime timeAnti party en prime time

A party that stinks like the dough that feeds itFesta que apesta com la pasta que alimenta
Mass and procession, reggaeton, reprimandMissa I processó, reggaetonto, retreta
Look how agony parades under the canopyMira com desfila l'agonia bajo palio
The little dark-skinned boy rises and August diesPuja el morenet I mor l'agost

Sexist parties, private, imposedFestes sexistes, privades, imposades
Capitalist, fascist, CastilianCapitalistes, feixistes, castellanes
A party of "bull" and orchestraFesta de "toro" y orquesta
A party that doesn’t represent usFesta que no ens representa

And in the upper square, nothing had changedI en la plaça de dalt res havia canviat
We’ve inherited the rotten story of a past timeHem heretat la historieta podrida d'un temps passat
And in the upper square, nothing had changedI en la plaça de dalt res havia canviat
We’ve inherited the rotten story of a past timeHem heretat la historieta podrida d'un temps passat

Today we make a sceneHui la liem
We paradeNosaltres desfilem
We reclaim the boatLa barca recuperem
Today we celebrate against the currentHui tornem a celebrar a contracorrent

Here comes the good one, the band playsAhí va la bona, la banda sona
Mixed line, muixeranga that gives chillsFilada mixta, muixeranga que esborrona
In front of the figureheadDavant la moma capitejant
We bring a head and a squad of giantsPortem cabet I una esquadra de gegants

The boat is ours, no one sinks itLa barca és nostra, ningú l'enfonsa
We bring the fire from the bonfirePortem el foc de la foguera
And the vibe for the dance. ListenI la veta per al ball. Escolta
The demons have returned, anti-party timeEls dimonis hem tornat, anti party-time time

A party that stinks like the dough that feeds itFesta que apesta com la pasta que alimenta
Queen, tradition, pasodoble, combReina, tradició, pasdoble, peineta
The granddaughter harassed at the fairLa neteta acosada en la verbena
Too many loudmouths, little condemnationMassa maxito fanfarró, poca condemna

Sexist parties, private, imposedFestes sexistes, privades, imposades
Capitalist, fascist, CastilianCapitalistes, feixistes, castellanes
A party of "bull" and orchestraFesta de "toro" y orquesta
A party that doesn’t represent usFesta que no ens representa

But in the lower square, everything was changingPerò a la plaça de baix, tot estava canviant
We shared the party, a treasure to reclaimEns repartíem la festa, un tresor per recuperar
Here, in the lower square, now everything has changedAcí, a la plaça de baix, ara tot ha canviat
We will defend this party, the treasure we’ve reclaimedDefensarem esta festa, el tresor que hem recuperat

Today we make a sceneHui la liem
We paradeNosaltres desfilem
We reclaim the boatLa barca recuperem
Today we celebrate against the currentHui tornem a celebrar a contracorrent
