La Mancha

When a man is poor
he is crazy, has no money, works
hard, especially if he is
in love, without that brunette he
can't live.

What a black stain poverty is.

When a poor man talks to
them about love, he takes off his hat
and starts to speak, at that moment
they answer him drunk,
indecent and of bad living.

What a black stain poverty is.

When a rich man talks to
them about love, with shame and all
they say yes, then later they
talk among themselves 'Mr. So-and-so spoke to me and I responded.'

What a black stain poverty is.

These are the verses of the stain
may no one be offended or go
saying why the rich belittle the
poor and without the poor the rich cannot
live.
