THE FURNITURE (PART 6: THE CABINET)
Aha! El gabineta.
El gabineta se ha utilizado almacanar pescados.

Ah, the cabinet!
The cabinet has been used to store fish.

E so es razonable.
Eran abadejos?
No.

That’s reasonable.
Were there any haddock?
No.

Donde esta mis oficina de los hermanos?

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.
