Danza Del Cuélebre
Victor Manuel
Dance of the Cuélebre
They say the Cuélebre has the scales of a fish
That lives inside the river and no one sees him.
The last time they saw him, he was walking in the village
Disguised as a bagpiper,
He was loaded with mirrors that make when looking at him
The big seem small.
They say the Cuélebre has the scales of a fish.
They say the Cuélebre only speaks in English
But he's learning to speak backwards
To not be understood by anyone, not even in Chinese or in Bable
Too many words, let the words tangle
And darken the good ideas.
They say the Cuélebre only speaks in English.
Pale, pale, pale, pale, pale, pale... Cuélebre!
Pale, pale, pale, pale, pale, pale... Cuélebre!
The tongues say the Cuélebre is a transvestite
But he tells everyone: 'They made me this way,
I can bark like a dog, swim like a fish,
Or fly like a crow, I like to walk the streets
Wearing clogs behind the women.'
The tongues say the Cuélebre is a transvestite.
They say the Cuélebre has the scales of a fish
Someone saw him appearing dragging his feet,
With a red tunic, a blown-out lantern to scare the children,
But the bravest ones approach him to pull his tail.
They say the Cuélebre has the scales of a fish.
