Ché Araña

Hey Spider

Ché Araña

At the bottom of the rickety barrelAl fondo del barril desvencijado
Illuminated by a ray of sunQue alumbra un rayo de sol
The spider dances tango in its threadsLa araña en sus hilos baila tango
To the chords of the bandoneonCon los acordes del bandoneón

Don Cat imitates the instrumentDon gato imita el instrumento
Stretching a little paper lanternEstirando farolito de papel
And his tail sways with feelingY su cola menea con sentimiento
Keeping the rhythm of that danceLlevando el ritmo del baile aquel

Hey spider!¡Ché araña!
Dance skillfullyBaila con maña
You have to countHay que contar
Three little stepsTres pasitos
DraggingArrastraditos
Forward and backwardPa' delante y para atrás

Among the worn splintersEntre las astillas carcomidas
Left from the old barrelQue quedan del viejo tonel
The clientele peeks out arrogantlySe asoma petulante la clientela
And tiptoes into itY de puntillas penetra en él

Shiny bored cockroachesBrillantes cucarachas aburridas
Tired aphids from bitingPulgones fatigados de picar
Plus other slick verminMás otras sabandijas relamidas
Gather to revelQue se reunen a trasnochar

Hey spider!¡Ché araña!
Dance skillfullyBaila con maña
You have to countHay que contar
Three little stepsTres pasitos
DraggingArrastraditos
Forward and backwardPa' delante y para atrás
