Song Description

A mermaid is offered a seafood meal by a young man who has fallen in love with her. No no no I don't eat seafood! she says.

Lyrics

la sirena nadaba
en la marea baja
y siempre estaba
con la piel salada
el muchacho andaba
cada madrugada
por la playa blanca
pa' verla tomando la luna
la encontro sentado
en un muelle privado
su cabello enredado
con algas y cabo
a ella se acerco
el hombre y dijo
"nina, me tienes enamorado
tienes hambre? te prepare pescado
es delicioso"
y le presento
un atun asado
con cebolla, pimenton, y ajo
en un plato dorado dorado
la sirena grito
y al agua salto
y desaparecio
pero primero
lo miro
en los ojos
y dijo
no no no no como del oceano
ni tiburon con pimenton
ni camaron con arroz y limon
ningun mordisco de ningun marisco
las sirenas nunca comen langosta
porque las sirenas prefieren cacao
a las sirenas les gustan frambuesas
pero las sirenas no comen pescao

and in english:
the mermaid swam
in the low tide
and always had salty skin
the man walked every night
by the beach
to see her moonbathing
he found her sitting
on a private dock
her hair tangled
with algae and rope
he approached her and said:
"girl, i love you
are you hungry? i made you some fish.
it's really good."
and he presented a tuna,
grilled with onions, pepper, and garlic,
on a golden plate
the mermaid screamed
and disappeared, but first
she looked him in the eye and said,
"no no no, i don't eat from the ocean."
neither shark with pepper nor
shrimp with rice and lime
not a bite of any seafood
mermaids never eat lobster
because they prefer chocolate
mermaids really like raspberries
but they don't eat fish.
