Fiesta lyrics by The Pogues

Fiesta
Pogues


I am Francisco Vasquez Garcia
and I am welcome to Almeria
We have 'sin gas' and 'con leche�
We have 'fiesta' and 'feria'
We have the song of the 'chochona'
We have brandy and half 'corona'
And Leonardo and his accordione
And calamari and maccaroni

Come all you rambling boys of pleasure
And ladies of easy leisure
We must say: Adios! until we see
Almeria once again

There is a minstrel, there you see,
And he stoppeth one in three
He whispers in this one's ear
"Will you kindly kill that doll for me"
Now he has won 'chochona' in the bingo
All the town has watched this crazy gringo
As he pulls off the dolls head laughing
And "miradlo!" throws its body in the sea

Come all you rambling boys of pleasure
And ladies of easy leisure
We must say: Adios! until we see
Almeria once again

El veinticinco de agosto
Abrio sus ojos Jaime Fearnley
Para el bebe cinquante cincampari
Y se tendi� para cerrarlos
Y Costello el rey del America
Y suntuosa Kate O'Ryan
Nor vompere mis calliones
Los gritos fuera de las casas
