#5/10 � P. Pasmanick Texto biling�e BILINGUAL TEXT Controversia 2 (fragmento) Benito �lvarez (Galicia, Espa�a) Marcos Hormiga (Canarias, Espa�a) Estos dos espa�oles, de extremos opuestos del pa�s, utilizan el popular y muy antiguo romance (utilizado tambi�n en el corrido mexicano). Benito canta en gallego, su idioma regional, que transcribo como mejor puedo. Su respuesta al insulto de Hormiga concerniente su barriga, comparando a Hormiga al pat�tico caballo de Don Quixote, sac� carcajadas del p�blico. Este intercambio pronto se volvi� obsceno. Marcos: Que no me vean en la copla / que yo quiero hacer le chanza / M�renme, soy don Quixote / Y aqu� tengo a Sancho Panza / Benito: Perm�tenme compa�eiros / Eu hab�a explicado antes / Eu podo ser Sancho Panza / Mais este es Rocinante. / These two Spaniards from opposite ends of the country use the popular and ancient four-line romance form (also used in the Mexican corrido). Benito sings in Gallego, his regional language, which I have transcribed as best I could. His response to Hormiga�s insult to his girth (comparing Hormiga to Don Quixote�s pathetically bedraggled horse) brought down the house. This exchange soon became quite obscene. Hormiga: Let it not be said that when I sing / I just want to joke around. (?) / Look at me, I�m Don Quixote / And here I have Sancho Panza. / Benito: Allow me, friends / I have said so before (?) / I may be Sancho Panza / But this guy is Rocinante. /
