La Tortuga

How beautiful is the turtleQue bella es la tortuga
What will she eat?¿qué cosa comera?

Two lettuce leavesDos hojas de lechuga
Then she will restDespués reposara
(ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...)(ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…)

Well, the turtlePues la tortuga
One day wasUn dia fue
An animal that wouldn't stop runningUn animal que no paraba de correr
Like a bulletComo una bala
But even moreMas todavía
Resembling a train flying down the trackQue semejaba un tren volando por la via
But she had an incidentMas tuvo un incidente
A wall stopped herUn muro la paro
She broke some teethRompiose algunos dientes
Then she calmed down...Entonces se calmo…
And the turtle must have thoughtY la tortuga debio pensar
It was easier for others to runQue era mas facil que corrieran los demas
Because that dayPorque aquel dia
Without warningSin avisar
Going slowly she found happinessYendo despacio se encontro la felicidad
A forest of lettucesUn bosque de lechugas
And a whole sea of ice creamY todo un mar de helado
That going so fastQue yendo tan aprisa
She had never imaginedNunca habia imaginado
And a blond and faithful turtleY un rubio y fiel tortugo
Who has loved herQue la amado
And has taken herY la ha llevado
