Final foreign language help... again, the editor of the music didn't really help much with the actual words... I might have gotten a few wrong.

Spanish Folksong... El Burro:

Ya se murio el buro
Que accareaba la vinagre
Ya le llevo Dios de esta vida miserable.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.

El era valiente,
El era mohino
El era el alivio de todo vilarino
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.

Estiro la pata arrugo el hocico
Con el rabo tieso decia adios Perico
Todas las vecinas fueron al entierro
Y la tia Maria tocaba el cencerro
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.

Ya se murio el buro
Que accareaba la vinagre
Ya le llevo Dios de esta vida miserable.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.

Thanks

Ok, I ran it through Babelfish (http://world.altavista.com/) and got:

Or murio buro That accareaba the vinegar Or I take God to him of this miserable life. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. The brave era, the mohino era the era the lightening of all vilarino That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. I stretch the leg I wrinkle the snout With the stiff tail decia Perico good bye All the neighbors went to the burial and tia Maria touched the cowbell That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. Or murio buro That accareaba the vinegar Or I take God to him of this miserable life. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru. That your ru ru ru ru.

I believe it will make a lot more sense after a lobotomy.

Good Lord!! Someone get the drill!

Well -- the best poetry doesn't always make the best song.

Thanks, Hans - thanks for babel fish too.

. . .tia Maria touched the cowbell. . .

Isn't "tia" "Aunt"?

And why does Aunt Maria touching the cowbell sound just a tad naughty to me?

Ok -- I figured it out... A guy I asked thought (because of the figures of speech) it looks South American (I don't believe him.)

It's a funny, though not tongue in cheek, look at a farmer's burro who just died. *He was so brave! The whole town came out to his funeral... Auntie Maria even rang the death bell (cowbell). *We all miss him so.

Now, all I need is the Greek one taken care of.

Thanks for the help.

If you can wait a day, I'll get my wife to look at it, she is from Peru and used to teach Sapnish in her Country.

Captn. You actually have it right. A lot of misspellings, but the idea is there. The song doesn't necesarily have to be from South America. Where did you get these lyrics?
Burro, not Buro (Buró is a night table)
Acarreaba, not accareaba.
It's EL vinagre and not LA vinagre

Just my 2 cents

I can tell you love animals.

All your movies involve animals, and now the sadness.

Are you Aries by any chance?

All the best

Captain,
My wife Briggiti translated this for you. *She is from Peru. *If you need any more assistance e-mail me.

Ya le llevo Dios de esta vida miserable.
(God took him from this miserable life)
Que tu ru ru ru ru.

El era valiente,
(He was brave)
El era mohino
(He was exhausted?) She didn't know Mohino but was guessing....
El era el alivio de todo vilarino
(He was alleviated of everything)
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.

Estiro la pata arrugo el hocico
(He stretched his legs and wrinkled his mouth)
Con el rabo tieso decia adios Perico
(With his stiff tail he said good-bye Parrot)
Todas las vecinas fueron al entierro
(All the neighbors went to the funeral)
Y la tia Maria tocaba el cencerro
(And aunt Maria rang the bell )
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.
Que tu ru ru ru ru.

Ya se murio el buro

Oh, usually Aries are associated with nature. That is what I have always heard.
