La Sirenita (El Cuento Original)
Rodrigo Septién
The Little Mermaid (The Original Tale)
This is the story of a mermaid who lived in the sea
With her sisters, her father, and the local wildlife
The mermaid didn't have a name so for you to better understand the story we're going to call her Ariel, anyway. At the age of 15, they would go up to the surface to see what was there
What's this ship doing?
A wild party
The birthday of a lad who wasn't bad at all
With so much rum, the ship got out of hand, sank, and broke into pieces
And Ariel rescued the handsome fool, leaving him safe in a nearby temple
The rest of the men drowned
And Ariel didn't care
When the prince woke up, he didn't see Ariel, he saw a slut passing by
Rosa Aurelia, you saved me
And Ariel saw everything
How long does a human live, grandma?
Not long, Ariel
When they die, do they turn into sea foam?
Their soul goes to heaven for all eternity
I want to be part of it
Don't insist anymore
Ariel went to see a witch who lived nearby and asked for a potion to become human, but the witch, who was very tough, asked for several things in return
She cut her tongue and then gave her a certain illegal potion
When she tried it, she got legs but something felt very wrong
She couldn't speak because she started bleeding
Drinking the potion was like stabbing herself
And with every step she took and every dance she felt a thousand knives cutting her feet
You must marry that boy
Or you will turn
Into sea foam
And bleeding like a bitch, Ariel went to look for the prince who, by the way, didn't have a dog
He had slaves to entertain himself
And he was a jerk
She danced to please that vile and cruel boy
But her father brought a girl to marry him
I will only marry the one who rescued me
That girl I saw in the temple
Son, it's the same girl
Oh! Well, look at that
What will become of Ariel?
Sea foam
Ariel was there
Watching as they rubbed the wedding in her face with a thousand knives in her feet
When her sisters appeared, who were now bald
And your hair?
We sold it to the sea witch
And we got this knife with the pleasure of the sea
Cut that bourgeois boy's throat
Then pour his blood on your feet so you can live in the sea again
I don't know if I can, I can't stop loving him
I will commit suicide and turn
Into sea foam
Lailaralara
But Ariel didn't turn into sea foam
She became a daughter of the air and if she fulfilled
300 years of good deeds her soul would ascend to heaven
Children, if you encounter the sea witch, don't exchange
Your tongue for drugs with this little trick
The end of this story under the sea has arrived
