Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
She's been adopted by everybodyElla ha sido adoptada por todos
the one taking care of the babies.la que cuida de los bebés.
She moved them to tears with her story of poor motherLos hizo llorar con su historia de pobre madre
The countdown has startedLa cuenta regresiva ha comenzado
She was giving all her tenderness to those babiesElla entregaba todo su cariño a esos bebés
And she loved them less than him.Y los amaba menos que a él.
Him, this monster, who couldn't be shifted,Él, este monstruo, que no podía ser desplazado,
Who drew, his strength from all those babies.Que obtenía su fuerza de todos esos bebés.
She was bringing them as an offertory.Ella los traía como un ofertorio.
In the wood, the oak was cryingEn el bosque, el roble lloraba
to have swapped the maternal perfume for the foliage.por haber intercambiado el perfume materno por el follaje.
Who knows how far she can go,¿Quién sabe hasta dónde puede llegar,
this mysterious nurse lurking around the cradle?esta misteriosa enfermera acechando alrededor de la cuna?
