Un Millón de Chinos

A Million Chinese People

Un Millón de Chinos

One in gray, another in redUno gris, otro de rojo
Two in blue, three in yellowDos de azul, tres de amarillo
This one with long mustachesEste con bigotes largos
That one with a butterfly-catching netEse con una red de cazar mariposas

At the end of the dayAl final de la jornada
They all go, chattering awayTodos van, habla que habla
Getting more and more crowdedCada vez más apretados
Two by two, three by three, a hundred by a hundredDos a dos, tres a tres, cien a cien
Look at them!¡Mírales!

On a bus, on the way to BeijingEn un autobús, camino de Pekín
A million Chinese-Chinese-ChineseUn millón de chino-chino-chin
Like pork rinds, in a canapé-kin tinComo chicharrones, en lata de a canapé-kin

Even though there are many stopsAunque hay muchas paradas
Everyone gets on and no one gets offTodos su-be y nadie baja
The truck goes until the cowEl camión va hasta la vaca
With its big load of yellow-skinned peopleCon su gran carga de amarillos de piel
