El Zorzal

The Thrush

El Zorzal

Very tired in the morning,Muy cansado a la mañana,
He gets up and goes to workSe levanta y va a trabajar
It's night and the thrushEs de noche y el zorzal
Already awake starts to singYa despierto empieza a cantar

It's three blocks and there he goesSon tres cuadras y allá va
The bus he was going to takeEl colectivo que iba a tomar
He takes another one and sits down,Toma otro y se sienta,
He dozes off, starts to dreamSe adormece, empieza a soñar

A beach far from here with seashells and his momUna playa lejos de acá con caracoles y su mamá
Who says to him: -"come over here, eat some fruit and go swimming"-Que le dice: -"ven para acá, come una fruta y ve a nadar"-

He wakes up startled,Se despierta y sobresalta,
His stop was left behindSu parada quedó allá atrás
Half an hour, half an hour more,Media hora. media hora más,
They will deduct from his pay againOtra vez le descontarán.

He hurries and upon arriving,Va apurado y al llegar,
The doorman says -"how are you?El portero dice -"¿qué tal?
Once again you arrived late,Otra vez llegaste mal,
Keep it up and they will fire you"-Sigue así y te van a echar"-

-"come running with your mom, a storm is about to start-"ven corriendo con tu mamá , una tormenta se va a largar
Let's quickly prepare a meal for your dad"-Vamos pronto a preparar una comida a tu papá"-
