El Reino del Revés [English translation]

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom

The bird swims and the fish flies,

That cats don't go "meow" but say "yes"

Because they learn a lot of English.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom

Nobody dances with his feet,

That a thief is a policeman and another is a judge

And that two and two are three.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom

A bear can get into a walnut,

That babies have beards and moustaches

And that a year lasts a month.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom

There's a Pekinese dog

That falls upwards, and one time,

He couldn't get down after he'd fallen.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom

A man named Andrew

Has 1,530 chimpanzees

That you can see if you look at them.

They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom

A Spider and a centipede

Ride on chess horses

In the marquis' palace.

Let's go and see how

The Reverse Kingdom is.
