Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
Once upon the time I heardHace mucho tiempo escuché
About a rightful kingSobre un rey legítimo
He should have been so wise and oldDebería haber sido sabio y viejo
And justice did he bringY traer justicia
The people said: he is our manLa gente decía: él es nuestro hombre
And his words were shiningY sus palabras brillaban
Like the good heart he seemed to haveComo el buen corazón que parecía tener
His smile was very brightSu sonrisa era muy brillante
He took care of the rich and poorCuidaba de ricos y pobres
His life was like a lightSu vida era como una luz
The people said: he is our manLa gente decía: él es nuestro hombre
And his words were shiningY sus palabras brillaban
But once a servant of the kingPero una vez un sirviente del rey
That knew him very wellQue lo conocía muy bien
Left the castle to the worldAbandonó el castillo hacia el mundo
And told the people allY le contó a la gente todo
Be careful with this golden manTengan cuidado con este hombre dorado
Before you all will fall downAntes de que todos caigan
Once upon the time I sawHace mucho tiempo vi
A wise old rightful kingA un sabio y viejo rey legítimo
He took care for order and lawCuidaba del orden y la ley
And justice did he bringY traía justicia
But the people knew he was only a liarPero la gente sabía que solo era un mentiroso
They took their swords and killed himTomaron sus espadas y lo mataron
killed himlo mataron
