Cervatillo

I'm a fawn, and I live here in the forest,
With my family, and other big animals,
Here life is simple and peaceful,
No fuss, living in peace and harmony...
Today my mother went out for a walk,
With my siblings to find us something to eat,
I stayed on the riverbank,
Playing with the squirrel, the frog, and the little birds,
How beautiful... how beautiful...
Listen squirrel, someone is approaching, I hear a strange noise...
Should we go? Should we hide?
I think they are humans...

And what strange animals they are...
They walk on two legs, and they have hardly any fur,
Squirrel, don't go, I think they are friends...
Why don't we go see if they let us play with their toys?...

Hunters... hunters...

Do you see squirrel? They are looking at us now,
They point at us, aim at us with their strange toys...
I'm going to approach, see if they let me have it...
And we all have a good party together...

A white light, a loud noise...
Damn, what happened?... I can't see anything...
And it hurts... I'm all bloody...

You scoundrels... how could you do this to me??
I beg you to stop the dogs from biting,
Squirrel, run, go and call my mother...
40 against 1... what a bunch of cowards...
Hunters... oh no...

Do you see squirrel, they are taking me away,
Dragging me on the ground, little by little I bleed out...
They leave me in a dark and cold place...
Next to my companions...
They have also fallen...

Now my head hangs on the wall of a large hall...
Next to my father's, while the hunter smiles...
I, who wanted to be the greatest of the deer when I grew up...
I have to settle for being just a sordid trophy...
And this fable in the form of a song ends here...
With a moral, let's see if someone learns the lesson...
The moral of this story I will tell you right now...
There are too many murderers!
There are too many murderers!!
