Chirigota "Las Momias de Güete pa guá los Niños" (1986) - Pasodoble "In the past"

In the past,

everything was beautiful

for our eyes,

Cadiz was cleaner

and people didn't smoke hash.

In the past,

everything was wonderful,

even though you have to pay the toll

and there used to be in every family

ten shouting children who were hungry.

There wasn't the Dole at that time

but there was a pole stained wiht blood.

In the past,

how nice, children at school

used to learn by force,

blues and reds used to die by quarrels,

and they told us to shut up at Carnaval.

In the past,

the ones who had lest were so happy

cleaning shoes and being treated as scum...

The ones who like the past,

I'd give it as a present

the whole of it for him!
