CHILDREN FALLA
"THE PARTY OF FEAR"
*Falles is the name of this Valencian festival.
In addition, it is the name of the associations that join the festival and of the monuments that they present each year and will be burned on March 19.
Faller/Fallera is the person who belongs to a Falla.
Casal is the place/house where the Falla (association) enjoys the party.
Fear can be fun
and here we have proved it,
because our falla
really makes us laugh.
At the party of fear
boys and girls
join the first
and do not remain still.
Smiling is very healthy
and the fallers know it
and it is our life
make people enjoy.
The werewolf is in Paris
with full moon
and the Eiffel Tower
on the river shows its reflection.
Like a perpetual Halloween,
skulls, pumpkins
and lots of fun
for every person who passes by.
With trick and treating we know
how to throw a good party
and wait for a gift
if our performance is well done.
Dracula and his castle
always hide surprises
and vampires can be a
great inspiration for some costumes.
Vampires can fly
and they always love the night,
because they will party more
and without even a shout.
Frankenstein is happy
and finally knows the falles,
he will now be good
and will love the laughs.
Yeti has left the snow
to find spring
and loves the beach more
than the mountain which is so cold.
Mummies and ghosts
will make a street parade
to live falles
and will always be the first.
And everyone likes the party
because the sadness is forgotten
and living is no longer scary
following some new rules.
Fireworks and noise,
music and firecrackers
make our people happy
and love fallers.
Bogeyman hides
surprises and animation
so that the whole falla
knows the fun.
Even the Mussa Moor
is faller and knows too
that here everyone who wants
has the doors open.
Our falla is open
and fear is no longer scary
for those who love the party
this is the best place.
No monster will make them cry
because they are already fallers
and they live in our Casal
where they are treated very well.
At the party of fear,
you are all invited
because there is no other better place
for happiness.
