Where+I'm+from+by+Maria+Jover

I’m from tall buildings and small buildings, From huge shops, parks, cinemas, restaurants. From the sound of a car jam and car horns, The laughs, the high heels Running to the party next door. I’m not from the smell of clean air, But the smell of dirt and pollution. From the delicious smell of my grandma’s hand made ‘croquetas’ I’m from the cake shops and pastry shops From our typical ‘cocido madrileño’ I’m from the endless nights at the discotheques with my good friends to the endless days at the beach with my family members. I’m from San Isidro and ‘churros con chocolate’ From New Year and ‘las doce uvas’ I’m from the country were when you’re tired ‘te echas una siesta’. I’m from EspaÑa, I’m madrileÑa. I’m from late mornings and late wake-ups From late nights and late go to bed All of this Is ME
