They slide up to you with their wholesome smiles, their leaflets, their flags, the pathetic champions of great lost causes, the sad chansonniers out collecting for their friends, the abused orphans selling table-mats, the scraggy widows who protect pets.
Veñen cara a ti pouco a pouco cos seus amables sorrisos, os seus folletos, os pobres combatentes das grandes causas idiotas, os cantantes tristes que piden para os seus camaradas, os orfos que venden manteis, as viúvas decadentes que protexen ás mascotas.
