Sales of the good man

Aitor Albistur
Nagore Legarreta

I write

to you Hello Xenpelar so that you
can know the sales of
the good man, even if you almost listen
to your gypsies.
We're not that old,
we're not that old...
any house would want
fuckers like us.

If

I knew how the
Times had changed!
The week has seven days of work,
but the hole in
the pockets... The workings have multiplied
and the factories have
multiplied: now the broom and the
fregon are our tools.

III For
the time of awakening
and rising, as honest
fathers, we know well that
children must be prepared.
Heat the milk to this and
change the pardel to it...
Only the one who works knows
that it is not so easy!

IV

The housework only
takes us to
the nursery and involves
the workplace.
And there you also have to work
among all the superiors,
at least until the salary comes
home without work...

V Because
when you put it on fire you can
see what the pot is
like, you can see how big
we are in the kitchen!
Even though the tortilla is often
cooked before the eggs are
laid, all foods are delicious
after making them yourself.

VI

Since soap and softeners
are always enough, if
we knew how to
thank even the labadora!
Press “Start” and only
then open the
door... Govern our clothes
better than geron!

VII There

are eleven devices in the house
and many times we are
hesitant before putting what we need
into operation... We often work
with slices or clothes on
the plate, hoping that what we
take is what
belongs to it.

VIII

Cleanliness in our house
is often in exile...
Although cleaning often is always in
demand of more!
The vacuum cleaner in one
hand and the cloth in the
other, a lot of blackness disappears
when our foreheads are blackened.
We also
go to
IX
Street, although
with few options, forced by
today’s laws in the
form of abstemients.
The bartenders are in crisis, the
cider makers are
on strike... because if we take the
car we can’t drink it.

X

Since life without alcohol
is completely mediocre, we
often have a
fight because of thirst.
The person who made the law
would have been smart, if I
had seen it myself I would
have broken his back!

XI The

man of today must be a
very helpful man, a fine
worker at home and on
the street again formal.
Now it’s all
in half and thankfully.
May the Lord lift us up on the
day when everything is for us!

XII I

have written to you, Xenpelar, that you may
know how we are going.
Lazkao-Txiki will do it because he
does not take it in
surprise; but I beg you,
do not tell Chirrita that he
will not suffer for the
time he does not live.

The melody is: “Spend the day working and” or “The Bad Lady’s

Sales”. Send your lots to bertsoak@argia.eus. We will post the selected ones on this page.

The language of

Is it important to use a language correctly? To what extent is it so necessary to master grammar or to have a broad vocabulary? I’ve always heard the importance of language, but after thinking about it, I came to a conclusion. Thinking often involves this; reaching some... [+]


The 'favorite' places

The other day I went to a place I hadn’t visited in a long time and I liked it so much. While I was there, I felt at ease and thought: this is my favorite place. Amulet, amulet, amulet; the word turns and turns on the way home. Curiosity led me to look for it in Elhuyar and it... [+]
