El Cangrejo Alejo

The Crab Alejo

El Cangrejo Alejo

The crab Alejo, who saw a mirrorEl cangrejo Alejo, que vio un espejo
He got scared to find himself old, so oldSe asustó al hallarse viejo, tan viejo
He wanted to hide behind the seaQue quiso esconderse detrás del mar
And without saying goodbye, he went far awayY sin despedirse se fue muy lejos
Through the sandy shores, to walkPor los arenales, a caminar
Through the sandy shores, to walkPor los arenales, a caminar

Let's go look for the crab AlejoVamos a buscar al cangrejo Alejo
No one knows where, where he'll beNadie sabe dónde, dónde andará
Let's go find him, let's runVamos a buscarlo, vamos corriendo
He'll be lost somewhereQue estará perdido en algún lugar

The crab Alejo, who was oldEl cangrejo Alejo, que estaba viejo
Walked among the rocks, slow, very slowIba por las piedras, lento, muy lento
With his little cane made of coralCon su bastoncillo hecho de coral
And he even stumbled, without glassesY hasta tropezaba, sin espejuelos
With the snails and with the saltCon los caracoles y con la sal
With the snails and with the saltCon los caracoles y con la sal

Let's go look for the crab AlejoVamos a buscar al cangrejo Alejo
No one knows where, where he'll beNadie sabe dónde, dónde andará
Let's go find him, let's runVamos a buscarlo, vamos corriendo
He'll be lost somewhereQue estará perdido en algún lugar

To your little crabs, crab AlejoA tus cangrejitos, cangrejo Alejo
You have left them sad and without a grandfatherHas dejado tristes y sin abuelo
Who can teach them how to sailQue pueda enseñarlos a navegar
And tell them sailor talesY decirles cuentos de marineros
So they have something to dream aboutPara que ellos tengan con qué soñar
So they have something to dream aboutPara que ellos tengan con qué soñar

Let's go look for the crab AlejoVamos a buscar al cangrejo Alejo
No one knows where, where he'll beNadie sabe dónde, dónde andará
Let's go find him, let's runVamos a buscarlo, vamos corriendo
He'll be lost somewhereQue estará perdido en algún lugar

Let's go look for the crab AlejoVamos a buscar al cangrejo Alejo
So the sea becomes more beautifulPara que se ponga más lindo el mar
