La Charla del Pescado

Oh, what they are murmuring,Ay, lo que va murmurando,
boy, your beloved!muchacho tu enamorada!
That life is slipping away from youQue se te escapa la vida
lying there doing nothing.tirado sin hacer nada.
That one day you went fishing,Que fuiste un día a pescar,
and you forgot the fishing rod,y se te olvidó la caña,
How they will bite you!¡Cómo te van a picar!
Without a rod you went fishingSin caña fuiste a pescar
and you were left hangingy te quedaste colgado
watching the water flow by.mirando el agua pasar.
