The document is a song about violet sellers in Madrid, Spain. It describes how in spring the violet sellers appear and shout, trying to sell their flowers. They say the flowers only cost one real and encourage buying a bouquet to wear in one's buttonhole. The faces of the sellers are described as happy. The song was chosen to accompany the silent film "City Lights". It references the sellers being from Castilla and how their gaze can burn you. It repeats the refrain of buying a violet for one real to wear in your buttonhole. Madrid has a monument dedicated to "the Violetera".
