Las Casitas Del Barrio Alto

The Little Houses of the High Neighborhood

The little houses of the high neighborhood
With bars and front gardens
A beautiful driveway
Waiting for a Peugeot

There are pink ones, green ones
White ones and light blue ones
The little houses of the high neighborhood
All made with recipol

And the people from the little houses
Smile at each other and visit
They go together to the supermarket
And everyone has a television

There are dentists, merchants
Landowners and traffickers
Lawyers and rentiers
And everyone wears polycron

They play bridge, drink martini-dry
And the children are blond
And with other blond children
They go together to the 'high' school!

And the little son of his daddy
Later goes to university
Starting his problematic
And social intricacies

He smokes cigarettes in an Austin Mini
Plays with bombs and politics
Kills generals
And is a gangster of sedition

The little houses of the high neighborhood
With bars and front gardens
A beautiful driveway
Waiting for a Peugeot
