CHILDREN FALLA
IN 1,000 YEARS TIME
If the present is strange already,
what will we know about the future?
Our little falla this year
gives us an answer gladly.
From other planets
they come to know
how are our parties
and how the fallers we are.
Fallas are special
and who lives them, repeats
and when March arrives
they always come back happy.
The robots fallers
may can be the future,
at the Party they all fit
and we will always live it with pleasure.
With a band of octopuses,
Fallas are more complete
and these are very encouraging
to boys and girls.
In 1,000 years time, the ‘plantà’
will be something different
and the artist will do it
from afar with remote control.
People will visit Fallas
with flying skates
and when the fireworks explode
they will enjoy them from a good place.
Many things can change
but the Party will be
one of the most beautiful treasures
that we Valencians have.
A boy looks at the moon
in order to see the future
and maybe one day he could be
a very intelligent man.
Dreaming of the future is good
and with desire and a lot of encourage,
the future will be everyone's
if we take care of our planet.
With the time machine,
we can know that Fallas,
those of the past and the present,
fill us all.
The future will be festive
because young people want it too
that Fallas may be
the Party of all and sundry.
Past time is lost
and with new generations,
the future will be better
and that benefits everyone.
Now it's a thing of the past
but Laika, the puppy,
will always be important
for humans and science.
A tribute deserves
Laika and her sacrifice
and all together we recognize
her work so hard.
Past and present
can make the future
kinder and more open
if we love our life.
With the wisdom received,
the new generations
will continue the fight
to make a better world,
Fallas will be eternal
and important reference
of these beautiful lands
that Valencians walk on.
