Mother Spain

Mother Spain
With a wandering beard
Who misses twelve o'clock mass
Who doesn't know routine
Masonic, Jewish, Christian
Pagan and Moorish
Mother Spain
Prettier than any

Stepmother Spain
At siesta time
The whore who falls in love
The fruit that causes indigestion
Who, on the edge of the greasy pole
Looks the other way
Blessed Spain
Of Azañas and Machados

Complicit Spain
Redeeming torment
Parsley, Ceuta and Melilla
Hunting grounds for small game
Catalan, Galician, Basque
Lacandon, Castile
Stereotypical Spain
Optical fiber and crabs

Orphan Spain
Roots and foundations
Epidemics, scars
Blasphemies and sacraments
For whom do the bells toll?
San Fermín in the veins
The one from Triana
Against the Macarena

Betraying Spain
Of mus and coffee
Al Andalus, Malasaña
Gypsy with aserejé
The one with the cobalt blue monkey
And the green horse
Assault guard
That barks but bites

Jovial and stubborn
Of all or none
Tricolor white flag
Millán Astray, Unamuno
Cervantine limping
From a rough past
Who has stolen
The twenty-first century?
