Party

Fiesta

Glory to God in the highestGloria a Dios en las alturas
They collected the garbageRecogieron las basuras
From my street, yesterday in the darkDe mi calle, ayer a oscuras
And today planted with light bulbsY hoy sembrada de bombillas

And they hung from a ropeY colgaron de un cordel
From corner to corner a signDe esquina a esquina un cartel
And paper flagsY banderas de papel
Green, red and yellowVerdes, rojas y amarillas

And when the Sun turns its back on themY al darles el Sol la espalda
The skirts flutterRevolotean las faldas
Under a blanket of garlandsBajo un manto de guirnaldas
So that the sky does not seePara que el cielo no vea

On the night of San JuanEn la noche de San Juan
How they share their breadComo comparten su pan
His wife and his coatSu mujer y su gabán
People of a hundred thousand racesGentes de cien mil raleas

Hurry upApurad
I'll be waiting for you there if you want to comeQue allí os espero si queréis venir
Then night falls and they leavePues cae la noche y ya se van
Our miseries to sleepNuestras miserias a dormir

We are going up the hillVamos subiendo la cuesta
That up my streetQue arriba mi calle
He dressed up for the partySe vistió de fiesta

Today the noble and the villainHoy el noble y el villano
The great man and the wormEl prohombre y el gusano
They dance and hold handsBailan y se dan la mano
Without caring about the appearanceSin importarles la facha

Together, the Sun finds themJuntos, los encuentra el Sol
In the shadow of a lanternA la sombra de un farol
Soaked in alcoholEmpapados en alcohol
Groping a girlMagreando a una muchacha

And with the hangover on my backY con la resaca a cuestas
The poor return to their povertyVuelve el pobre a su pobreza
The rich man returns to his wealthVuelve el rico a su riqueza
And the priest attends his massesY el señor cura a sus misas

Good and evil woke upSe despertó el bien y el mal
The poor fox at the portalLa zorra pobre al portal
The rich fox at the rosebushLa zorra rica al rosal
And the miser to the currenciesY el avaro a las divisas

It's overSe acabó
The Sun tells us that the end has comeEl Sol nos dice que llegó el final
For one night he forgotPor una noche se olvidó
That each one is each oneQue cada uno es cada cual

We are going down the hillVamos bajando la cuesta
That up on my streetQue arriba en mi calle
The party is overSe acabó la fiesta
