Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
The tourists get into their carLos turistas se suben a su auto
And drive through the safari parkY conducen por el parque safari
There's animals you've only seen in booksHay animales que solo has visto en libros
And despite the helpful warningsY a pesar de las advertencias útiles
(You could read them in the dark)(Podrías leerlas en la oscuridad)
They decide to try and get a closer lookDeciden intentar verlos más de cerca
And they park the car and lock it cos you're better safe than sorryEstacionan el auto y lo cierran porque es mejor prevenir que lamentar
And they try to make the lions look their wayIntentan que los leones los miren
And in a perfect Kodak moment, they're hunting for their car keysY en un momento perfecto para Kodak, buscan las llaves del auto
As the lions come bid them all good dayMientras los leones les desean un buen día a todos
And they say: Haven't you ever heard of Darwin?Y dicen: ¿Nunca han escuchado de Darwin?
Did you think we were going to run and hide?¿Pensaron que íbamos a correr y escondernos?
Haven't you ever heard of Darwin?¿Nunca han escuchado de Darwin?
Don't roll down your car windowsNo bajen las ventanas del auto
It's a jungle outsideEs una jungla afuera
There's white tigers in Las VegasHay tigres blancos en Las Vegas
Who deign to show their teethQue se dignan a mostrar sus dientes
Sip tea from china to polite applauseToman té de porcelana bajo aplausos educados
And they're weighing up the gamblersY evalúan a los jugadores
They're masters or they're meatSon maestros o son carne
Provided they stay arms length from the pawsSiempre y cuando se mantengan a una distancia segura de las garras
And it's very nearly showtime, the magicians warm up backstageY casi es hora del espectáculo, los magos se preparan en el backstage
And the sound effects so loud that no-one hearsY los efectos de sonido son tan fuertes que nadie escucha
As one tiger turns to the other and says: "you wanna see some magic?Mientras un tigre le dice al otro: '¿Quieres ver algo de magia?
Tonight it's the magicians disappear!"¡Esta noche los magos desaparecen!'
And the tigers say: Haven't they ever heard of Darwin?Y los tigres dicen: ¿Nunca han escuchado de Darwin?
Did they think we'd vanish in thin air?¿Pensaron que íbamos a desaparecer en el aire?
Haven't they ever heard of Darwin?¿Nunca han escuchado de Darwin?
Don't roll down your car windowsNo bajen las ventanas del auto
It's a jungle out thereEs una jungla ahí afuera
Further down the food chainMás abajo en la cadena alimenticia
Closer to the groundMás cerca del suelo
Scurry all the scavengers at homeSe apresuran todos los carroñeros en casa
You can tidy up the kitchenPuedes ordenar la cocina
And wash all of the platesY lavar todos los platos
But there's always meat left somewhere on the bonePero siempre queda carne en algún hueso
And all our tiny flatmates are waiting to inheritY todos nuestros pequeños compañeros de piso esperan heredar
The legacy we'll leave behind one nightLa herencia que dejaremos una noche
They feed their little habit and wait with perfect patience tilAlimentan su pequeño hábito y esperan con paciencia perfecta hasta
There's no-one left to turn on all the lightsQue no quede nadie para encender todas las luces
And they'll sing: Hadn't they ever heard of Darwin?Y cantarán: ¿Nunca han escuchado de Darwin?
Now we don't have to run and hideAhora no tenemos que correr y escondernos
Hadn't they ever heard of Darwin?¿Nunca han escuchado de Darwin?
Open up the windows, It's a jungle insideAbran las ventanas, es una jungla adentro
