Mariel And The Captain

Mariel Y El Capitán

She takes the elevatorElla toma el ascensor
In the morningA la mañana
Without fear of it fallingSin temor a que se caiga
She goes down to the 5th floorBaja en el 5to piso
And knocks twiceY toca con dos golpes
On door CA la puerta C
It opens and Mariel entersSe abre y entra mariel

He lives on the 5th floorEn el 5to vive él
He is the brave captain of the frigateEs el valiente capitán de la fragata
And when Mariel arrivesY cuando llega mariel
He takes off his hat and serves teaDeja la gorra y sirve té
With lemonCon limón
Or maybe coffeeO a lo mejor café

The building committee metEl consorcio se reunió
And the captain was talked aboutY del capitán se habló
And the outraged ladiesY las damas indignadas

But the captain was absentPero el capitán faltó
And did not attend the meetingY al reunión no asistió

He was with MarielEstaba con mariel

She takes the elevatorElla toma el ascensor
At nightA la noche
Without fear of it fallingSin temor a que se caiga
But she didn't reach the 5th floorPero al 5to no llegó
Someone cut the ropeAlguien la cuerda le cortó
And she fellY se cayó
And so Mariel diedY así mariel murió

And the poor captainY el pobre capitán
Full of horror and painLleno de espanto y de dolor
