De Purísima y Oro

Joaquín Sabina Joaquín Sabina

Of Purest Gold and Purple

Academy of tailoring and dressmaking
Chilblains, castor oil
Gas generator, topolino shoes
The fabric inside because of the heat

For refinements, piquer galleries
For the foundling, children with tonsillitis
For tuberculosis, chicken broth
For the foreigners, Luis Miguel

For the partner of the cleaner, a small coffee
For the black marketeer, two barriers
For the Corpus, yellow scraps
To clarify the purple of the flags

Third triumphant year, with brilliantine
The gentlemen close the chestnut horse
And, on a little boat, Miguel de Molina
Embarks, on the way to overseas

The nationals had already passed
They had shaved Mrs. Cibeles
Captive and disarmed
The steam from the windows

At the time of the revelry, in the alleys
The platoon was up early for sales
The next day the papers talked
About Celia, Pemán, and the bayonet

Showing the astrakhan claws
She reclined at the Chicote bar
La Bien Pagá melts, with her neckline
The cream of the intelligentsia

Stay, with a bun, Eva Perón
Parfait Amour, navy blue cardigan
Maestro, let me introduce you to Lupe Sino
I leave you in good hands, bullfighter

And then, the reserved area in Gitanillos
And then, the Riscal paella
And the afternoon of the gentle Saltillo
A ring and some crystal stockings

Child, bring up two anisettes to the suite
Because today we are going to lose the epaulettes
Of purest gold and purple, Manolete
Square up the bull, in the Linares arena

The nationals had already passed
They had shaved Mrs. Cibeles
The formal people returned
To their cares

At the time of the conga, in the brothels
The platoon rested in San Blas
The next day the papers talked
About Gilda and the Aviación Athletic Club
