Theme included in the record work Iris, project commissioned by the singer Alícia Calzada in 2009.

A work tailored to its voice with 11 songs in Spanish, texts, music and arrangements created specifically for me and adapted to the timbre and the particularity of the voice of this original singer of Sant Feliu de Guíxols.

A game of words that only works in Spanish, to represent the restlessness of always going fast for life, this disease so widespread among us that it catches us and kills us day by day.

I make reference to a poem by Federico García Lorca that I use in my work Lorca.

I throw my life out the window.

Recording of the theme

 

Deprisa que tengo prisa (Original version)
 
La prisa me tiene presa,
Presa de verme deprisa.
Quien no corre vuela,
Quien no corre vuela,
Si llegas el primero ganas.
 
Muévete pronto que no te vea,
Dale más fuerte písale a fondo,
Si te he visto no me acuerdo,
Deprisa deprisa con la prisa.
 
La prisa me tiene presa,
Presa de verme de prisa.
Corre que te veo muerte,
Muerte que ya vas viniendo,
Cuanto más corro más cerca te veo,
Si tu llegas antes yo pierdo.
 
Ya lo dijo el poeta:
Tanta prisa para que,
Para llegar a ninguna parte. Ninguna.
 
Para llegar a ninguna parte, para,
Tanta prisa para que,
Tanta prisa para que,
No llegarás a ninguna parte, ninguna.
Tanta prisa tanta prisa para que.
Ya lo dijo el poeta para que.
 
Si le doy prisa a mi prisa,
Mi prisa no me obedece.
Quien no corre vuela,
Quien no corre vuela,
Lanzo mi vida por la ventana.
 
Muévete pronto que no te vea,
Dale más fuerte písale a fondo,
Si te he visto no me acuerdo,
Deprisa deprisa con la prisa.
Pisa la prisa pisa la prísala.
Pisa la prisa písala prísala.
Písala písala la prisa.
Pisa la prisa, pisa la prisa ya,
Pisa la prisa o ella te apresará.
Pisa la prisa.
 
Deprisa deprisa con la prisa.
 
 
Quickly, I am in a hurry (English version)
 
 
The rush has me trapped,
Prey to see me quickly.
Who does not run flies,
Who does not run flies,
If you arrive first you win.
 
Move quickly si I don't see you,
Give him stronger,
If I have seen you I do not remember,
Hurry up in a hurry.
 
The rush has me trapped,
Prey to see me in a hurry.
Run that I see death,
Death you're already coming,
The more I run the closer I see you,
If you arrive before I lose.
 
The poet already said:
Such a hurry,
To get anywhere. Anywhere.
 
To get anywhere, stop,
In such a hurry,
In such a hurry,
You will not get anywhere, anywhere.
So hurry so fast for that.
The poet has already said so.
 
If I hurry to my haste,
My haste does not obey me.
Who does not run flies,
Who does not run flies,
I throw my life out the window.
 
Move quickly si I can't see you,
Give him stronger,
If I have seen you I do not remember,
Hurry up in a hurry.
Hurry hurry hurry
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
Hurry the hurry.
Pace the hurry, hurry now,
Hurry the hurry or she will catch you.
Hurry up.
 
Hurry hurry with the hurry.
