A principis de segle
els meus avis van arribar
a la seva terra promesa
de l´Aragó i del País Valencià.
A poc a poc, i sense pressa
la seva cultura van barrechar
amb altres, que com ells
aquí s´hi van quedar
Trabajaron de sol a sol
y se ganaron el respeto
a vivir en esta tierra
suya por derecho
Pa deleite de las niñas
de Pedralbes y Sarrià
que saben perfectament
la seva forma de treballar
Como gato callejero
Un mil leches, un charnego
que entra per la porta
sense preguntar
No em possis mai en dubte
ni mi ser ni mi conducta
Mi sabor és molt fàcil d´explicar
Caminan per la Verneda
Barceloneta, Horta y Sants,
Poble Sec y Sant Andreu,
Guinardó, Nou Barris y El Raval
La Barcelona de Candel
De Marsé y de Rabinad
Barcelona que en Gato Pérez
Tan bé va fer sonar"
