Barranca Abajo

A year ago all the women
were lining up to accompany me to the furniture store,
today if I call any of them
they answer with disdain 'disappear you wretch, wretch!'.

A year ago I always tuned myself
with French champagne and imported Scotch,
today I get drunk
with kerosene or with alcohol from primus alpistado.

You went down the ravine
you'll have to come back to Tajo.
You went down the ravine
you'll have to leave here again.

A year ago I always dressed up
in exclusive boutiques, received very good treatment
today I fell so low
that I need a ladder to tie my shoes.

You went down the ravine
you'll have to come back to Tajo.
You went down the ravine
you'll have to leave here again.

You went down the ravine
