Los borregos [English translation]

I'm going to tell you

what happens in my bed,

when it's already night

and I lie down without...

without feeling sleepy,

so I count a thousand sheep,

and I dream about a crisis

in the third world.

About a bunch of

sloppy sheep,

that were controlled

by a dog, who was a dog,

and that dog,

such an animal,

was eaten by the wolf

on Christmas.

What I can't understand

is: how, if they're a thousand sheep,

they're scared so much

by one little crazy

and very dumb wolf?

[chorus] The sheep skip around

inside the farmyard.

The sheep skip and skip around,

skip around the sheep,

skip around the sheep,

in the same place!

All female sheep are so so lost,

because they don't know a single thing

about life.

They only want to be kept.

Then they're full of babies

and there's no way out.

What I can't understand

is: how, if they're a thousand sheep,

they're scared so much

by one little crazy

and very dumb, harsh wolf?

[chorus]

One little sheep, two little sheep,

three little sheep jumping.

Six little sheep, ten little sheep

skip around and get tired.

A thousand little sheep jump without moving forward!

[chorus]

Every fifteen days, they get wool1,

but they drink a lot, so they're left with nothing,

and they daydream about leaving the farmyard,

and about having enough money to go skiing.

1. "Lana" (wool) in spanish is a slang word for money.
