After
Lorca
For M. Marti
The Church is a business, and the rich
are the business men.When they pull on the bells, the
poor come pilling in and when a poor man dies, he has a wooden
cross,
and they rush through
the ceremony.
But when a rich man dies, they
drag out the Sacrament
and a golden Cross, and go doucement, doucement
to the cemetery.
And the poor love it
and think it's crazy.

Depois de Lorca
para M. Marti
A Igreja é um negócio, e os ricos
são homens de negócios.
Quando os sinos batem, os
pobres se aglomeram na nave e quando morre um pobre, ganha uma cruz
de madeira,
e aceleram a cerimônia.
Mas quando um rico morre
suprimem o Sacramento
e a Cruz dourada, e caminham doucement, doucement
para o cemitério.
E os pobres adoram
e acham uma loucura.
