The morning was newLa mañana era nueva
They stood in a queueEstaban en una fila
It was long, long, longEra larga, larga, larga
And the sun beat downY el sol golpeaba
And Nancy and SarahY Nancy y Sarah
And Tees and JohannaY Tees y Johanna
They stood in a queue tooTambién estaban en la fila
What does it mean?¿Qué significa?

The thumbs are blueLos pulgares están azules
And the ballots are greenY las papeletas son verdes
And Nancy and SarahY Nancy y Sarah
Are singing hosannaEstán cantando hosanna
They stood in the queue tooTambién estaban en la fila
Cans in the pantry, beans in the panLatas en la despensa, frijoles en la sartén
Try seeing the future, try if you canIntenta ver el futuro, intenta si puedes
