Echa vino, montañés
CARMONA'S DILIGENCE (fragment)

Pour some wine, mountain dweller,
Luis de Vargas pays,
He who helps the poor
And defeats the rich.
Go and tell the soldiers
That the horses have been taken
And we are leaving for the plains of Ecija
With our girlfriends.
Pour some wine, mountain dweller,
Luis the Vargas pays.

Canta Villalón a la legendaria "justicia bandolera"
de los campos de la Andalucía romántica,
que es más justicia social que otra justicia,
deshaciendo desigualdades entre ricos y pobres.
Justicia que se pregona retadora del poder real,
en las tabernas y colmados regentados por "montañeses" (santanderinos).

Por cierto que, aún hoy, muchos de estos establecimientos
de toda Andalucía siguen siendo regentados por "montañeses"
Emilio de Llera Suárez - Bárcena
Fiscal de la Audiencia Provincial de Sevilla
Prosecutor at the High Court of Seville
Villalón sings of the legendary "justice of bandits"
In the fields of romantic Andalusia,
Which is more social justice than any other justice,
Undoing inequalities between rich and poor.
Justice which claims to challenge royal power,
In the taverns and retail wine shops kept by "montañeses" (people from the Santander region).

In fact a lot of those establishments throughout Andalusia are still kept by "montañeses" nowadays.
