Balada dromaderelor [English translation]

If I'd have four dromedaries

I won't dream of hippos

freed from mammals

I'd admire Apollinaire

If I'd have four dromedaries...

If I'd have four dromedaries,

I'd buy a palm tree

and sitting in a hammock,

I'd still read Apollinaire

If I'd have four dromedaries...

With his four dromedaries

Don Pedro d'Alfaroubeira

searched the world and admired it

He did what I would have done

if I had four dromedaries

If I'd have four dromedaries,

I'd wander with all four of them

in that khimaeric world

that belonged to Apollinaire

if I had four dromedaries

If I'd have four dromedaries,

I'd even go to the skies

like a finished Tower of Babel

for Apollinaire's sake...

if I had four dromedaries

With his four dromedaries

Don Pedro d'Alfaroubeira

searched the world and admired it

He did what I would have done

if I had four dromedaries
