El bosque de Palo [English translation]

Down a river of clear waters

goes Palo Cantamañanas.

He is looking for an apple

to bite on and go crazy.

He finds one and sinks his teeth on it;

he is struck and knows nothing.

He is happier than anything;

he is so high noting matters.

It's already been some weeks

of spring, of sunny afternoons.

In the forest of the apples

lives Pablo Cantamañanas.

In a calm pond

he finds a beautiful silver trout.

He sees it and grabs his guitar;

he recites a sonnet to see if he can catch it.

"Oh little black-eyed fish girl,

be careful because today I'm in heat;

it's springtime and you're so delicious;

grab your stuff, let's go upstream"
