Los Americanos

They are born old
and they grow younger
throughout life...
the Americans.

And they are born convinced
that there is nothing in the world
more important
than... the Americans.

Napoleon for them
was an Italian gentleman
who organized the mess
without Americans.

And they are more than sure
that he wouldn't have lost
Waterloo with the help
of the Americans.

If they know history,
it's not from reading,
but from having seen it
in American cinema,

with grand scenarios
and grandiose music
in the subtle style
of the Americans.

With big jaws
from chewing so much gum
it's very common to see them
the Americans...

Sporting a thousand colors
everyone, except black
which they don't consider
American taste.

When they are older
they dress as tourists
and go around the world,
the Americans.

On organized trips
with romance included
everything paid in installments
by the Americans.

If there's something admired
wherever they go
it's the great 'elegance'
of the Americans.

With typical outfits
they blend in with the people
and no one realizes
they are Americans.

they always buy
valuable old things
just aged
for Americans.

And then in their homes
they receive friends
who admire the 'good taste'
of the Americans.

And not to mention flamenco
after a few drinks
they feel inspired
the Americans.

And it's common to find them
dancing in the tablaos
exuding the 'grace'
of the Americans.

Well my friends
here is what I promised
I told you what I could
about the Americans...

The rest... is not worth it,
have a good night
and if you see them
send my regards
to the Americans.
