THE FURNITURE (PART 5: THE BATHTUB)

THE FURNITURE (PART 5: THE BATHTUB)
Aha! La banera.
Una morsa con una erupcion repugnante se esta recuperando en la banera.
Una morsa con una erupcion repugnante se esta recuperando en la banera.

Aha, there’s the bathtub!
A walrus with a nasty rash is recovering in the bathtub.
A walrus with a nasty rash is recovering in the bathtub.

Oh no, no otra vez.

Oh no, not again.

Donde esta mis gabineta de los hermanos?
Donde esta mis gabineta de los hermanos?

Where is the cabinet of my brother?
Where is the cabinet of my brother?

Facts:

  • The story of The Furniture / Los Muebles is a traditional northern Spanish sea shanty from the Asturias region.
  • It tells a tale of how a disfunctional family of linguistically challenged fishermen lost and then found some furniture following a flood, and the consequences.
  • Linguistically challenged means, in this case, they were not terribly bright and could not even speak their own language very well.
  • The Spanish version has been loosely translated into English by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
  • From an idea by Daniel Richardson.
  • This song and its anomalies of translation make a great teaching aid, if one happens to have students learning English or Spanish.
