My mother and father have gone into town.
In the flowering fields you and I will lie down
and conceive a fine son!
We shall name him Pascual
and he'll be an arch-bishop, Pope, or cardinal,
or he'll be a pig-farmer from Villa Reale.
….........................................................................
[translated from a 15th Century serranilla]
Mi padre e mi madre
han ido al lugar.
Haremos la cama
junto al retamal.
Haremos un hijo,
llamarse ha Pascual.
O sera arzobispo,
papa o cardenal,
o sera porquerizo
de Villa Reale!
