The Bastard Sons of Dennis: The Furniture (part 7: the bureau)

The Furniture (part 7: the bureau) 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. THE FURNITURE (PART 7: THE BUREAU) Aha! La oficina. La oficina ha sido picotiada por muchos pollos Y la puertas se han caido. La oficina ha sido picotiada por muchos pollos Y la puertas se han caido. Ah, the bureau. The bureau has been pecked by a great many chickens And the doors have fallen off. The bureau has been pecked by a great many chickens And the doors have fallen off. Eran una cortina agredable del marron. Pense que eran horrible! Usted tio el es porke usted neude espantoso. That’s a shame, they were an agreeable shade of brown. I thought they were horrible! You would and that's because you smell appalling, uncle. Music and lyrics: A. Richardson/G.
