Madrid A-E

Drahi Nashi,
Dojmovi od Madrida još se nisu slegli i uporno nan se kontubaju po glavi. Nikako ne možemo naš posjet ćapat ni za glavu ni za rep. A i kako bi mogli – 5 dana je ništa (a od tega smo dan i po proveli u Pripizdini, ali to je druga priča). Aristotel govori da priča mora imat početak, sredinu i kraj, a kako ne možemo odredit ni jedno od tega za opisat Madrid, odlučili smo se za enciklopedijski pristup. Od A do Ž.

Still full of Madrid impressions we tried to write our report. But we just can't because we can't grasp it. And how could we - just 5 days (and one and a half of it was spent in Monfrague, but that is another story). Aristotle says that a story has to have a beginning, a middle and an end, and since we can't decide what is what we've chosen an encyclopedic approach. From A to Ž (Croatian alphabet).

Tropski vrt usrid željezničke stanice! Što više reć?

A tropical garden in the middle of a train station. What more to say?


Balkoni/balconies
U starem dilu Madrida umisto punistri kuće imaju balkone. A balkoni su nas odma podsjetili na Lorcu.

Oproštaj
Umrem li,
ostavite balkon otvoren.

Dijete naranče jede.
(Vidim sa svog balkona)

Kosac žito kosi.
(Čujem sa svog balkona.)

Umrem li,
ostavite balkon otvoren!

In the old part of Madrid houses have balconies instead of windows. And balconies reminded us of Lorca.


Farewell

If I die,
leave the balcony open.

The child is eating oranges.
(From my balcony I see him.)

The harvester scythes the wheat.
(From my balcony I hear him.)

If I die,
leave the balcony open!


Evo i original. Ne znamo, nikako nan se čini da ova pjesma boje zvuči na našken nego na englesken, bliže originalu.

Despedida

Si muero,
dejad el balcón abierto.

El nińo come naranjas.
(Desde mi balcón lo veo).

El segador siega el trigo.
(Desde mi balcón lo siento).

ˇSi muero,
dejad el balcón abierto!

Bazen/Pool
U Španjolskoj je skroz normalno da kuća ili zgrada imaju bazen. Zgrade se grade u tzv. urbanizacijama (urbanización), kao malo naselje od desetak zgrada kojima pripada bazen, parkić, nekad i tenisko igralište i sl. Ovo je bazen zgrade di smo min obitavali. Zapravo su dva, ovi livo je plitki za dicu, a ovi desno je duboki. Ja gusta doć nakon cjelodnevnog batanja po gradu i skočit i osvježit se. Naravski, ni Prižba, ma može proć.

It is usual in Spain that a house or a residential building has a pool. Residential buildings are built in so call urbanisations (urbanización) – small neighbourhoods with pool, park, sometimes a tennis court etc. This is the pool of the building we stayed at. Actually, there are two, the left one is the shallow one for children, the right one is deep. How good it felt to jump into the pool after whole day of walking around the city. Of course, it is not Prižba, but it isn't bad.


Ben&Jerry's
Mljac, vrhunski sladoledi u kojima smo uživali u Nigdjezemskoj došli su i u Španjolsku. To su onako masni i gusti i slasni američki sladoledi u kojima se u filmovima cure dave nakon prekida. Ali su stvarno samo takvi. Odma smo Mulata i Min mrknuli svaka svoga. A i super nan je tekst na reklami koji govori: Tvoja baka bi ti ga dala kad bi ga samo mogla izgovoriti. I Min bi volili jedan dan inkartat tako dobar tekst.

Yummie, an American ice-cream brand we enjoyed in the Neverlands came to Spain too. All greasy and dense and delicious this is the kind of ice-cream girls in the films eat after break-ups. We like the copy on the ad: Your grandma would give it to you if she could pronounce it.


Cafe con leche
Kad smo u Nigdjezemskoj konobarili u hotelima posebno su nas ranom zorom nervirali Španjolci koji bi urlali na nas: kafe kon leče, kafe kon leče (kafa s mlikon ili bila kafa). Ništa molin, dobro jutro, engleski ni slučajno. Kako da cili svit mora razumit što je to kafe kon leče. Ali, Španjolcima dan mora počet s bilon kafon, a naš vodič je temu još doda i churrose. To je frigano slatko.
Ovo je naša kafe kon leče i churros.

Our guide says that a typical Spanish breakfast consists of café con leche (cofee with milk) and churros (a fried-dough pastry-based snack). So this is our café con leche and a churro.


Egipatski hram/Egyptian temple
Sigurno ćete promislit: ma di je ovo Daleke vrag odni? Ali, ne, nismo se teleportirali u Egipat. Ovo smo usrid Madrida!
Što je bilo: egipatska vlada poklonila je ovi hram Španjoskoj kao zahvalnost za pomoć pri gradnji Asuanske brane. Zapravo možemo bit zli i reć da ga je Španjolska kupila. Ali nema veze. Uglavnom, hram je super, a nalazi se na brežuljku u parku iz kojega puca prekrasan pogled na Madrid. Oni koji žele znati više neka kliknu (klik, klik, klik)

You must be thinking: where the hell are Daleky? But no, we haven’t teleported ourselves to Egypt. Here we are, in the middle of Madrid!
What happened: Egyptian government gave this temple to Spain to thank it for the help during the building of the Aswan dam. The temple is great and is located in the park on a little hill and there is beautifull view on Madrid from there. Those of you who want to know more should click (click, click, click)


Engleski jezik/English language
Španjolci u principu slabo govoru engleski. Kako i Talijanci, to in je radi sinkronizacije u filmovima. Zapravo, svi dragi ljudi koje smo upoznal govorili su super engleski, ali oni od kojih bi očekivali (čuvari u Pradu, prodavači u butigi na aerodromu, recepcioner u hotelu i sl.) nisu se baš iskazali. Boguhvala na talijanskemu i rukama i nogama. Tako smo se uspili malo snać.

In general, Spanish people speak very little of English. Just like Italians, that is because of the dubbing. Actually, all the nice people we met there spoke English, but those that should speak it (the guards at Prado, the shop assistants at the airport, the receptionist in the hotel) weren’t very good. Thanksgod for the Italian language and the gesticulation.
