A La Playa Con Mariana

When the celebrated composer Johann Sebastian Mastropiero sat down at the piano ready to compose an oval song... A song or ballad, based on the verses of the poem 'To the Beach with Mariana', he seemed to see the silhouette of a strange animal swaying in the window of his studio. A little scared, he called his butler... Hehe... There is a very interesting story with Mastropiero's butler. Of course, he was a burly Welshman who had worked in the coal mines of Thompson & Company, until shortly before the mysterious disappearance of one of the partners of Thompson & Company, Henry Company. Yes, it seems he had money problems, had bet a large amount in Cowthumb County, in their sadly famous cow races, held there in Cowthumb. Speaking of Cowthumb, on the farms on the outskirts is where the famous 'sour loser cow cheese' is made. No, no, highly valued by French gourmets, for example, Marquis Du Beurre, who uses these cheeses to make his famous soufflé, the Du Beurre soufflé, with cheese, right? Speaking of soufflé, I'm going to give you the recipe... Don't laugh, then it comes out flat and you don't know why. A little secret for your soufflé to turn out... You have to put the flour with the yolks in a rather large container, and you have to let it air out for three days and three nights, but with your eyes fixed on the mixture. And then, a few moments before serving it, you place it in the presence of a tightly closed jar of Bulgarian garlic; yes, because otherwise the soufflé takes on the taste of garlic. People always ask me: Why should the garlic be from Bulgaria?... Bulgaria... Bulgaria is a country. Speaking of Bulgaria, one thing that has always caught my attention is that, in Bulgaria, women are named Nadiechda, Svoboda, Dobrinka; and the capital is called Sofia. Well, it was the Bulgarians' idea, right? I had nothing to do with it. Yes, no, no, in this case I'm just a repeater... Just a repeater, let's say... This brings to mind Duchess Sofia Von Stauffen, devoted protector and lover of Mastropiero. I mean, not to lose the thread, right? Yes, because many people go off on tangents... Speaking of tangents, Sofia Von Stauffen belonged to the Prussian branch of the Von Stauffen, and she was the one who entrusted Mastropiero with the ballad 'To the Beach with Mariana', which he was about to compose that time he seemed to see the silhouette of a strange animal swaying in the studio window and went and called the butler. Heh, with Mastropiero's butler, there's a very interesting story... Do you already know it? Well, it doesn't matter, the point is he calls the butler, the butler comes..., well, let's say a butler is basically for that, to come when you call him. Let's say the only requirement is that he be somewhere else, of course, otherwise he can't come: He calls him and says, 'Come.' 'How can I come if I'm here?' he says. Of course, it's a matter of... 2 plus 2 is... Uh... Well; the butler comes. The butler... The butler, after inspecting the place, told Mastropiero, 'Sir, the silhouette you saw is not swaying, but still; it's not in the window, but in an old oil painting; and it's not some strange animal, but Duchess Sofia.' Mastropiero, recovered from the scare, began the composition of his ballad 'To the Beach with Mariana', which we will hear next in the version by Les Luthiers

My wish is finally fulfilled
This weekend
Because we will go for a walk
To the beach with Mariana
We will eat until we are full
We will drink a lot of alcohol
And we will make love
On the beach under the sun

Having fun is a good thing
But with intelligence
Alcohol is a poison
That leads to impotence
Ah!

Under the sun we will love each other
By the sea without ties
We will eat until we are full
And we will drink pure water

Don't eat so much meat anymore
And consume more vegetables
If you don't want to risk
An early death
Sweets, pastas, bread and doughs
Fatten you without mercy
Be careful with fats
And with legumes

Why?
They cause flatulence
Ah!

My wish is finally fulfilled
This weekend
Because we will go for a walk
To the beach with Mariana
We are going to make love
On a secret beach
We will do it under the sun
And we will also diet

Today the sun is dangerous
And that's why I question it
It has become very risky
Because of the ozone hole
Ah!

I accept that because of the ozone
Sunbathing is prohibited
On the beach we will make love
But we will do it dressed

In these tough times
One must be cautious
Love is not very safe
It's best to abstain

My wish is finally fulfilled
This weekend
It's me who will go for a walk
To the beach with Mariana
Ah!
