El Palmar de Troya

The Palm Grove of Troya

El Palmar de Troya

I'm going to Seville immediatelyMe voy a sevilla inmediatamente
My girlfriend is devoted to Pope ClementMi chica es devota del papa Clemente
Dressed in black down to the anklesVestida de negro hasta los tobillos
She proudly contemplates her Tridentine lookContempla orgullosa su look tridentino

Finally meet the schismatic popePor fin conoce al papa cismático
And you notice right away that he is very niceY nota en seguida que es muy simpático
Clement is taken to the mangerSe lleva a Clemente al pesebre
To make Lefevre jealousPara darle celos a Lefevre
In mystical ecstasy he kneelsEn éxtasis místico se arrodilla
It rises and flies over SevilleSe eleva y vuela sobre Sevilla

He mutilates himself every dayEl se mutila todos los días
With broken bottles of González ByassCon botellas rotas de González Byass

Clemente, Clemente, don't mutilate yourself anymoreClemente, Clemente, no te mutiles más
Clemente, Clemente, by the holy faceClemente, Clemente, por la santa faz
The pious mass almost ran me overLa masa piadosa por poco me arrolla
When I was heading to the Palmar de TroyaCuando me dirigía al palmar de troya

At the dawn of Tormes, Clemente succumbsEn alba de tormes, Clemente sucumbe
Before the avalanche of the crowdAnte la avalancha de la muchedumbre
Everyone goes to the dance academyTodos van a la academia de baile
Clemente learns tangos through BrailleClemente aprende tangos por braille

God punished him for being an onanistDios le castigó por onanista
And the poor man lost his sightY el pobre hombre perdió la vista
What a delicate pleasure it is to be excommunicatedQue placer tan delicado es estar excomulgado
