Bonbon I (The Chocolate King)

Bombón I (El Rey de Chocolate)

There was a King in a castleHubo un Rey en un castillo
With walls of quinceCon murallas de membrillo
With its little almond patiosCon sus patios de almendrita
And its nougat towersY sus torres de turrón

He was the Chocolate KingEra el Rey de Chocolate
With a peanut noseCon nariz de cacahuate
And despite being so sweetY a pesar de ser tan dulce
His heart was bitterTenía amargo el corazón

The Caramel PrincessLa Princesa Caramelo
Did not want to live with himNo quería vivir con él
Because instead of hair on the KingPues al Rey, en vez de pelo
Pure honey sprouted, ohLe brotaba pura miel, ay

That King, upon seeing his fateAquel Rey, al ver su suerte
Started crying so hardComenzó a llorar tan fuerte
That, while crying, he knocked down the castleQue, al llorar, tiró el castillo
And a meringue crushed himY un merengue lo aplastó

In the castle's forestsEn los bosques del castillo
They have planted a big waferHan sembrado un gran barquillo
And they water it earlyY lo riegan tempranito
With lemon sodasCon refrescos de limón

In the lake, the waterfallEn el lago, la cascada
Is made of granulated sugarEs de azúcar granulada
And the stream, instead of stonesY el arroyo, en vez de piedras
Is dragging confectioneryVa arrastrando colación

The Caramel PrincessLa Princesa Caramelo
Sent her lollipop pageA su paje pirulí
To go to the monarchLo mandó con el monarca
And finally say yesA decir por fin que sí

The Marquis of Brown SugarEl Marqués de Piloncillo
Butler of the castleMayordomo del castillo
Has cleaned it with his tongueLo ha limpiado con la lengua
So that the King will marryPara que se case el Rey
