El Flautista

The Flutist

El Flautista

Like the pollen carried by the wind,Como el polen que arrastra el viento,
Tuning his instrument,Afinándose su instrumento,
Of marvelous character, in not very elegant clothes,De maravilloso carácter, de ropas poco elegante,
With a penetrating gaze and interesting melodies.De mirada penetrante y melodías interesantes.
He's from Hamelin,Es de hamelin,
He's the flutist who, inhaling his friendship,Es el flautista que inhalando su amistad,
Claps his hands and everyone starts dancing,Toca las palmas y a bailar, todos se dejan llevar,
Following his rhythm, don't resist his medieval touch,Sigue su compás, no se reveles a su toque medieval,
Otherwise, he'll whistle even if you don't want to dance.De lo contrario chiflara aunque no quiera bailar.
The flutist has arrived... on the horizon,El flautista llego... por el horizonte,
Drawing his figure in the setting sun,Dibujando su figura, al sol de poniente,
He'll only ask for a bit of friendship,Solo os pedirá un poco de amistad,
And in return, he'll rid your city of rats.Y a cambio limpiara de ratas tu ciudad.

We'll cross rivers, lakes, and mountains,Cruzaremos los ríos, lagos y montañas,
And find a valley without smoke and rats,Y halláremos un valle sin humos y sin ratas,
He's the flutist from the tales of your childhood,El es el flautista de los cuentos de tu infancia,
Slayer of giant dragons and conqueror of ladies.Matador de dragones gigantes y conquistador de damas.

The flute will wander in human memory,Tibicem pos hominum memoriam errat
Leaving its mark behind,Reliquens suum vistigium
With the melody of his flute eternal.Cum modulatio suae tibiae a eternan est.
Just as fire tests gold,Ut ignis aurum probat,
So does misery test virtue.Sic miseria probat virtutem.
