Si te casas en Madrid [English translation]

My dear fellow partners:

And now, for you, I'm going to sing

the regional union 'chotis'.

I don't say that to be from Madrid

(it may be not, it may be so)

is a privilege from God,

(it may be so, it may be not )

but the thing is that anyone who

comes from other country and drinks a pitorro 1.

in two months he lives better

than if he were born in Cascorro. 2.

And that's why, those who are not from here,

(it can be not, it can be so)

they want to believe they are

(it can be so, it can be not)

and to me, personally,

it doesn't seem to be wrong

that, in Madrid, the sun would rise for all,

since it is the capital. Exact!

That I don't say that they have invaded us,

but we are tired, and it's a pain

all that fuss about the verbenas they make: 3.

'that the lights, that the noises...'.

Aparently, it is that, in Madrid,

there is nothing good,

and, saying it my own way,

seems to me, come on, seems to me

that they should compromise.

If in Valencia they have fallas, 4.

and in San Fermin the running of the bulls, 5.

they should let us have, at least,

the evening open-air feasts in Madrid,

and if someone doesn't get

the way we are,

I will tell him: Stranger,

that although you are not from here,

your descendants will be

if you get married in Madrid. (bis)
