The Bad Old Woman Of Caldes Lyrics

The bad old woman of Caldes

Live in Caldes de Malavella

Formerly Aquae Calidae

The name of the town comes later

From the legend in which

The castle it was inhabited by a bad candle

People had to pay a few

Excessive taxes based

Of chickens eggs sacks

Flour wheat vegetables

And other products

To the feudal lady who lived in the castle

And which was said to be so evil

Ugly and humpbacked

That everyone knew her as the bad old woman

People were scared because a monster

Half man and half wolf

Walked its streets at night

Taking their children until a boy came

To the castle called Maurici

The bad old woman of Caldes

Live in Caldes de Malavella

Formerly Aquae Calidae

He was greeted by a hunchback

Was the lady's servant

And he said if he wanted a job

I could start

At that very moment

One night Maurici saw the

Sneak hunchback castle

Followed him towards the town

And once there

He took out a garment

Wolf and put it on

After a while

Climbed a house out the window

And came out with a full bag

Maurici thus discovered that the terrible

The bad old woman of Caldes

Live in Caldes de Malavella

Formerly Aquae Calidae

Beast that was talked about

When I get to the castle

Saw the hunchback put the boy

Then boil it in a cage and cook

Your heart for the Mala Vella

This had to be done every night

The witch at the first bite

He realized that the heart was not tender

Maurici facing her confessed

Which was the heart of the hunchback

And when he saw that all

The townspeople were coming

He ran away and was

Never heard

From again and in this way

The town of Caldes

It was renamed Caldes de Malavella
