The Festivities
The three kings step onto the quay.
We hear the cheers of the crowd,
Cannons thunder and bells peal.
Te Deum in the cathedral,
Illuminations in the night
And fireworks complete the party.
The Barcelona of old welcomes Charles III
But Néstor Lújan thinks the stroke of hallelujah
Means that Lent, with its penances,
Has ended and Easter has come at last.
