"The flood of people is so dense
that it is difficult to walk backwards.
There are stalls on the ground with ponchos, dolls,
all handmade, and there are also jerseys
with the brutal fear of being a foreigner
the two Peruvians say how much it is
to a foolish guy who laughed at them
try to get a better price for them
and when he succeeds he feels victorious
triumphed in his battle, his war
in the High Street.
I don't care if we're gypsies or non-gypsies,
whether from the north or the south,
for life is life and men are men
here and in the High Street.
I don't care if we are black or white
it doesn't matter what colour it is
for life is life
and men are men
here and in the High Street".
Carlos Goñi (Revolver). Calle Mayor (1996)
