Anoche me refalé
Rolando Alárcon
Last night I slipped
(Refalosa campesina, traditional dance from 1800)
Last night I slipped
in a soap bubble.
Since the bubble was smooth
we both slipped.
Yes, yes,
no, no,
your mother is zamba,
mine is not.
They say two don't fit
on a mattress.
Let's test it
with the battalion.
They say two don't fit
on a wire.
Let's test it
with the Carampangue.
