about

The Furniture (part 1: overture) by The Bastard Sons of Dennis, from their album Cherry Smoke Empire.

The Furniture (Los Muebles) is a traditional northern Spanish sea shanty from the Asturias region.

It tells a tale of how a dysfunctional 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.

lyrics

THE FURNITURE (LOS MUEBLES)
------------------------------------------------
Donde esta mis muebles de los hermanos?
Donde esta mis muebles de los hermanos?
Se pierden, se pierden

Where is the furniture of my brother?
Where is the furniture of my brother?
It is lost, it is lost.

Donde la guaderropa, la tabla?
Donde la silla, es banera?
Donde la gabineta, la oficina
Se pierden, se pierden
Los incontrareos

Where is the wardrobe, the table?
Where is the chair, the bathtub?
Where are the cabinet and the bureau?
They are lost, they are lost.
We will find them!

Creo que esta perdido por siempre
No! Los incontrareos

But I believe they are lost forever!
No! We will find them!

Donde esta mis guaderropa de los hermanos?
Donde esta mis guaderropa de los hermanos?

Where is the wardrobe of my brother?
Where is the wardrobe of my brother?
