Pelícano Rey

Long ago there was
In the kingdom of Chan Chan
A pelican king who wanted
To go to the sea
To fish

His servants brought him
Fish for breakfast
Happy pelican told them
Tomorrow I will go to the sea
To fish

No, no, no
You are king
Of the altar
You should not descend
Because if you touch the ground
The earth will tremble

He continued with his kingly duties
But while he distributed
Food in Chan Chan
And resolved fights
Pelican couldn't forget
That he wanted to go to the sea
To fish

To make him forget
They brought him as a gift
A thousand tapestries and also
A crown and rich mules
That only reminded him
That he wanted to go to the sea

One day the pelican
Discovers how to go to the sea
-If I can't touch the ground
I'll fly and that's it

Without anyone noticing
The pelican king departed
He finally fulfilled his great desire
He reached the sea

For the first time he flew
From wave to wave over the sea
Happy pelican shouted
Oh how beautiful it is to fish, to fish

He dove a hundred times
He gobbled up a hundred fish
When he couldn't fit anymore
He headed back to his altar

But the king weighed so much
That he couldn't prevent
His large pouch from touching
The sand as he flew

That's how in Chan Chan
A great tremor was felt
And although it was very mild
It lasted quite a while
Everyone then knew
That the king of the altar descended
To go to the sea
To fish
