Jorobita
Francisco Gabilondo Soler (Cri Cri)
Hunchback
Through the desert
a poor camel passed,
all messed up
Thirsty, tired,
dead from the heat,
all messed up
But luckily not far from there,
some palm trees saw him coming,
and they called out to him saying:
If you want to drink,
if you want to rest,
don't hesitate to come here.
Also, you should know
that our Great Sultan
wants to meet you as soon as possible.
Solitary and whiny,
the turban tires him out,
with nothing else to do
but scratch his belly.
Hunchback, please,
come see the good Sultan
and you won't feel the heat anymore.
Stumbling in the sand,
he slowly advanced
Sticking out his tongue,
he staggered...
And the palm trees, in a hurry,
left the oasis for him,
as the tired camel was about to fall.
In the shade of the garden,
Sultan Balunk Salim
served him an 'ice cream'.
The fainting was brief,
and the very voracious camel
woke up asking for more.
Since I have plenty of space,
if you want to indulge,
I'll give you my palace
all for you.
And to the right of the Sultan,
sitting on a divan,
Hunchback stayed to live.
