Carrer de L'amargura

Leave Valencia in July, damn life
Last exam, first ray of sun
Hands clenched from doing extras
All the pain from the vineyard in the kidneys
Cross the track from Silla at noon
The inheritance sounds, sweat falls
Look at the rice, the shining riverbank
Go inside: Inland Alicante

Go from Alicante up to Mariola
She goes back and forth to the village daily, she can't
With the rent and the job, she's alone
She cooks dinner for her mother, she doesn't want
No one knows what she earns per hour
Just enough concessions, love
Everything she has for her son who says hello
From her womb, her heart beats

But the clock stops up there
And madness, death, and carnival mix

And the festivities arrive again
And what's cooking no longer heals
And the town eats in the street
In your street, street of bitterness

Look at the landscape sitting in the square
Lights and flowers hang from the balconies
Can't go to the social club or hunting
And the olives give him little bread
This year the orchestra is in front of the house
Music and party, dance, the cane
At these heights, no matter what he does
The whole procession is already inside

But the clock stops up there
And another creature begins an adventure
And grandpa knows the end is near
And madness, death, and carnival mix
