Lyrics

El meu veí de sota
És un bon jan recent jubilat
Va néixer a prop de Ronda
Un petit poble que no ha oblidat
Vingué per ser manobre
Farà ja més de trenta-sis anys
Més tard portà la dona
I van obrir un bar restaurant
Malgrat tots els problemes
Tingueren dos brivalls
Que van pujar amb penes
Esforços i treballs
El meu veí de sota era del PSUC
Va lluitar per el nostre país vençut
En va aprendre la llengua a estones
I malgrat venir de fora
Em va ensenyar que és ser català
El meu veí de sota
Recorda el fill gran mort pel cavall
Mentre el petit esmorza
Intolerància i odi racial
El noi ha sortit fatxa
Violent i amb res al cap
Disfruta fotent canya
Als pobres immigrants
El meu veí de sota ara no surt
Creu que el que ell representa no té futur
Mentre para la taula pensa:
«Després de tanta feina
No és just que em senti tan derrotat»
El meu veí de sota ara no surt
Creu que el que ell representa no te futur
No sap que no va fer bé i pensa:
«De que ha servit la feina
Si ara tinc a casa
Tot el que jo odiava
I vaig combatre durant tants anys»

Lyrics translation

My neighbor below
Is a good jan recently retired
He was born close to Ronda
A small town that has not forgotten
He came to be a laborer
Will already more than thirty-six years
Later took the woman
And they opened a bar and restaurant
In spite of all the problems
They had two brivalls
That came with barely
Efforts and work
My neighbor below was of the PSUC
He fought for our country won
He learned the language at times
And despite coming off
I was taught that it is to be Catalan
My neighbor below
Remember the elder son killed by the horse
While the small because
Intolerance and racial hatred
The boy has left the right-wing
Violent and with nothing in the head
Enjoy screwing around cane
The poor immigrants
My neighbor below now does not appear
Believe that what he represents has no future
While for the table think:
"After so much work
It's not fair that I feel so defeated»
My neighbor below now does not appear
Believe that what he represents has no future
Don't know that he did not do well and think:
"That has served the job
If you now have at home
Everything that I hated
And I fight for so many years»
