Fiesta ver.2

Glory to God in the heights,Gloria a Dios en las alturas,
they picked up the trashrecogieron las basuras
from my street yesterday in the darkde mi calle ayer a oscuras
and today it's filled with light bulbs.y hoy sembrada de bombillas.

And they hung from a stringY colgaron de cordel
from corner to corner a signde esquina a esquina un cartel
and paper flagsy banderas de papel
purple, red, and yellow.lilas, rojas y amarillas.

And when the sun turns its back on themY al darles el sol la espalda
skirts flutterrevolotean las faldas
under a mantle of garlandsbajo un manto de guirnaldas
so the sky can see it.para que el cielo lo vea.

On the night of San JuanEn la noche de San Juan
how they share their bread,cómo comparten su pan,
their woman and their loversu mujer y su galán
people of a hundred different kinds.gentes de cien mil raleas.

Hurry upApurad
I'll be waiting for you there if you want to comeque allí os espero si queréis venir
because night falls and our sorrowspues cae la noche y ya se van
go to sleep.nuestras penas a dormir.

Let's go up the hillVamos subiendo la cuesta
because up there my streetque arriba mi calle
dressed up for a party.se vistió de fiesta.

Today the noble and the villainHoy el noble y el villano
the important man and the wormel prohombre y el gusano
dance and shake handsbailan y se dan la mano
without caring about appearances.sin importarles la facha.

Together they are found by the sunJuntos lo s encuentra el sol
in the shadow of a streetlighta la sombra de un farol
soaked in alcoholempapados en alcohol
groping a girl.manoseando a una muchacha.

And with a hangover on their backsY con la resaca a cuestas
the poor return to their poverty,vuelve el pobre a su pobreza,
the rich return to their wealthvuelve el rico a su riqueza
and the priest returns to his masses.y el señor cura a sus misas.

Good and evil woke upSe despertó el bien y el mal
the poor fox at the gate,la zorra pobre al portal,
the rich fox at the rosebushla zorra rica al rosal
and the miser at his money.y el avaro a las divisas.

It's over,Se acabó,
the sun tells us it's the endel sol nos dice que llegó el final
for one night they forgotpor una noche se olvidó
that each one is who they are.que cada uno es cada cual.

Let's go down the hillVamos bajando la cuesta
because up in my streetque arriba en mi calle
the party is over.se acabó la fiesta.
