Brutus
Brutus, terror de los vecinos,
eres mi perro preferido.
¿Qué iban a esperar de un gran danés
que acaba con mi sueldo cada mes?
Brutus, sal ya de la despensa,
abusas de mi condescendencia.
Nos has dejado a todos sin cenar
y nadie se ha atrevido a protestar.
Un perro mordedor
que nunca ha sido ladrador.
Un perro como tu
no ladra nunca porque, Brutus,
la boca siempre llena,
ladrar así es de mala educación.
Brutus, mens sana in perro sano,
mi esfuerzo nunca habrá sido en vano.
La gente te ha aprendido a respetar
a base de atacar y devorar.
Brutus prefiere carne tierna,
injertos de piel en muchas piernas;
la pantorrilla es su debilidad;
las traga sin apenas masticar.
Brutus
Brutus, terror of the neighbors,
you're my favorite dog.
What were they expecting from a Great Dane
who eats up my paycheck every month?
Brutus, get out of the pantry,
you're taking advantage of my kindness.
You've left us all without dinner
and no one dares to complain.
A biting dog
who's never been a barker.
A dog like you
doesn't bark at all because, Brutus,
your mouth's always full,
barking like that is just rude.
Brutus, a sound mind in a healthy dog,
my effort will never be in vain.
People have learned to respect you
by way of attacking and devouring.
Brutus prefers tender meat,
grafts of skin on many legs;
the calf is his weakness;
he swallows them down without even chewing.
