SPANISH LYRICS

Tú crees que en otros lados,
las algas más verdes son.
Y sueñas con ir arriba,
¡Que gran equivocación!
¿No ves que tu propio mundo,
no tiene comparación?
¿Qué puede haber allá afuera,
que causa tal emoción?

Bajo el mar
Bajo el mar
Vives contenta
Siendo sirena
Eres feliz
Sé que trabajan sin parar
Y bajo el sol, para variar
Mientras nosotros
Siempre flotamos
Bajo el mar

Los peces son muy felices.
Aquí tienen libertad.
Los peces allá están tristes.
Sus casas son de cristal,
la vida de nuestros peces.
Muy larga no suele ser.
Si al dueño le apetece,
a mi me van a comer.

Bajo el mar
Bajo el mar
Nadie nos fríe
Ni nos cocina
En un sartén
Si no te quieres arriesgar.
Bajo el mar te quedarás.
Y sin problemas
Y entre burbujas

Tú vivirás
Bajo el mar
Hay siempre ritmo
En nuestro mundo
Al natural
La manta-raya tocará
El esturión se unirá
Siempre al ritmo
Ritmo marino
Bajo el mar

Oye la flauta
Oye el arpa
Y al contrabajo
Ponle atención
Verás las trompetas
Y el tambor
Disfruta de tu canción

(Sí)

Con la marimba
Y el violín
Las truchas volteando
El otro cantando
Sin olvidarnos
Del espadín
Que empiece la función

Bajo el mar
Bajo el mar
Hay bailarinas
Son las sardinas
Ven a bailar
¿Para qué quieres explorar
Si nuestra banda va a tocar?
Hay castañuelas,
son las almejas.
Bajo el mar

Y las babosas
Son tan jocosas
Bajo el mar
El caracol
Es saxofonista
Y sus burbujas
Llenan la pista
Para que bailes
En esta fiesta
Bajo el mar

UNDERSTANDING THE SPANISH

The seaweed is always greener,
in somebody else’s lake.
You dream about going up there,
but that is a big mistake1
Just look at the world around you,
right here on the ocean floor?
Such wonderful things surround you,
What more is you lookin’ for?

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin’
Full time to floatin’
Under the sea

Down here all the fish is happy.
As off through the waves they roll.
The fish on the land ain’t happy.
They sad ’cause they in their bowl,
but fish in the bowl is lucky.
They in for a worser fate.
One day when the boss get hungry,
guess who’s gon’ be on the plate.

Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks loves to cook.
Under the sea we off the hook.
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles

Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
Even the sturgeon an’ the ray
They get the urge ‘n’ start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin’ sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul

(Yeah)

The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin’ out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it’s at
An’ oh that blowfish blow

Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It’s music to me
What do they got? A lot of sand.
We got a hot crustacean band.
Each little clam here,
know how to jam here.
Under the sea

Each little slug here
Cuttin’ a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That’s why it’s hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
Under the sea
