Pilar (Things Here Are Different) |
It’s been five years since the man has died |
Don’t think the people have changed |
We can put up posters, we can riot in the streets |
Still a woman can’t make ends meet |
So why don’t you do something about it? |
Things don’t happen to you, you make them happen |
She laughed |
You don’t understand |
You’re from another land |
Things here are different |
Here in sunny Spain, the widows all wear black |
To show their respect and their sorrow |
Here in Spain, so simple is our life |
You’re either a whore, a mother, or a wife |
So why don’t you do something about it? |
Things don’t happen to you, you make them happen |
She laughed |
You don’t understand |
You’re from another land |
Things here are different |
We’ve seen your freedom |
We get your TV shows |
So simple, so inviting |
I thought I’d like to know |
I’m the talk of the town |
I’m the shame of my family |
Your wonderful freedom |
Look where it’s got me |
So why don’t you do something about it? |
Things here are different |
