Center of Gravity

Centro De Gravedad

An old woman from Madrid with a hat,Una vieja de Madrid con un sombrero,
An umbrella of rice paper and bamboo cane.un paraguas de papel de arroz y caña de bambú.
Brave captains, ready nocturnal smugglers.Capitanes valerosos, listos contrabandistas noctámbulos.
Jesuits in action dressed like bonzesJesuitas en acción vestidos como unos bonzos
in ancient courts with Ming dynasty emperorsen antiguas cortes con emperadores de la dinastía Ming

Over and over again.Over and over again.
It was May in the streets and we walked togetherEn las calles era Mayo y caminábamos juntos
cutting bundles of nettles amidst jokes.cortando entre bromas manojos de ortigas.
I can't stand certain trends,No soporto ciertas modas,
the fake rock music, the Spanish new wave,la falsa música rock, la new wave española,
the free jazz, English punk, or the African drivel.el free jazz, punkie inglés, ni la monserga africana.
