Words of the Chotis "If you marry in Madrid" Exhibition Madrid Z, Galileo Cultural Centre, Calle Galileo, Chamberi, Madrid

            Lyrics of the chotis*, If you marry in Madrid
Artist: Olga Ramos (Trinidad Olga Ramos Sanguino)
If you get married in Madrid

 I do not say that being from Madrid
(maybe not, maybe yes)
be a privilege of God
(Maybe yes, maybe not)
but every outsider who comes here and drinks from a pitooro*
after two months he lives better
than if he had been born in Cascorro*. 
 
And for that, not being from here
(maybe not, maybe yes)
they figure that yes they are
(Maybe yes, maybe not)
and me personally
I dont think is bad
that in Madrid the sun rises for everyone,
for being the Capital Cabal*!
 
That I am not saying that they have invaded us,
but we are bored
and it is a pity the joking
that comes  with the verbenas*,
what if lights, what if noises...
Apparently 
there is nothing good in Madrid
and in my way of saying,
I think, come on, I think
that they should compromise.
 
If in Valencia they have Fallas*
and the bullrunning in San Fermín,*
let us at least have
the festivals in Madrid.
And if anyone doesn't understand
our way of feeling
I tell them : outsuder,
that although you are not from here,
your heirs will be
if you get married in Madrid. (Twice)
