This fandangos letra was written by my friend, Alfonso Cid.
Watch him sing it on the street at a demonstration in Sevilla below. You will be moved.
Fandangos
Alfonso Cid
La Tierra vamos a dejar
Sequita como una pasa
Cuando vengamos a darnos cuenta
Sólo dinero va a quedar
Y eso no nos alimenta.
We are going to leave the Earth
As dry as a raisin
The moment will come to be
When only money is left
And that doesn’t nourish us.
Thank you, Alfonso for writing this beautiful letra, for granting me permission to share it here, and for supplying this translation.
