A quien corresponda [English translation]

Myself,

Joan Manuel Serrat,

married, of legal age,

living in Camprodón, Girona,

son of Ángeles and Josep,

singer-songwriter by profession,

born in Barcelona,

according to the Civil Registry,

today, Monday, April 20th, 1981,

With the strength he disposes,

Sincerely

EXPOSES (colon)

That apples don't smell,

that nobody knows the neighbor,

that old men are moved away

after serving us well.

That the sea is dying,

that nobody trust their siblings,

that the earth ended in hands

of some madmen with ID.

That the world is experimental and with a toll,

that everything is disposable and provisional.

That sums don't match,

that reforms never end,

that we always get late,

to where nothing happens.

Because of these

and many differences more

that are specified in an addendum,

without serving as precedent,

respectfully

REQUESTS

Measures to be taken

and a call to order those bunglers

who leave everything lost

in name of the staff.

But to do it urgently

for not to be necessary

more heroes or miracles

to make the place decent.

There's no other time but the one we have,

assure who rules and who's ruled.

And if it wasn't at hand

to put a stop to such excesses,

order them to copy a hundred times

"you shall not do those things".

Thanks he expects to deserve

from the right action

of who doesn't use to deceive oneself,

may God keep him safe many years.

AMEN.
