I can't help with the Spanish but the English version looks great! :D Looks like it could fit nicely into a Quentin Tarantino movie and I imagine you'd have a wide range of music to choose from that this would work well with.

Thanks for sharing.

P.S. You might google around for a Spanish language forum for input if you need more feedback on the translation. Kudos for even giving it a go. :wink:]]> Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y8w14-el-coyote/#post-347577 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y8w14-el-coyote/#post-347509 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 12:41:04 +0000 Sunday Songwriters Group ShadyHarrison https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y8w14-el-coyote/#post-347509 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y8w14-el-coyote/#post-38418 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 10:39:46 +0000
This was a slow write involving Google Translate to get my phrases started and then a Spanish language rhyming dictionary which I also had to feed into the translator. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. So here it is... warts and all.. with slightly adjusted translation to make certain parts make sense where the Spanish doesn't quite translate perfectly back to English.

If you know the language PLEASE correct me.

"El Coyote"

Coyote! Coyote!
¿dónde has estado?
¿Te excavar el jardín?
¿Qué has descubierto?

¿los huesos? ¿los huesos?
¿Los huesos de Juan Carlos?
Él era mi buen amigo
pero ahora es sólo huesos

Coyote! Coyote!
disfrutar su comida
que es lo que se merece
es un adecuada despedida

la otra, la otra
dejarla donde está
Me rompió el corazón
y no quiero volver a verla

Coyote! Coyote!
¿dónde has estado?
¿Te excavar el jardín?
¿Qué has descubierto?

Los huesos! Los huesos!
Del bastardo sucio!
Él era mi buen amigo!
Escupo en los huesos podridos!

Coyote! Coyote!
No vuelvas a caer en el amor!
No vuelvas a caer en el amor!


And English:

"The Coyote"

Coyote! Coyote!
Where have you been?
Did you dig up the garden?
What have you discovered?

Bones? Bones?
The bones of Juan Carlos?
He was my good friend
but now he is just bones

Coyote! Coyote!
Enjoy your meal
That is what he deserves
Its a fitting farewell

The other, the other
leave her where she is
She broke my heart
I do not want to see her again

Coyote! Coyote!
Where have you been?
Did you dig up the garden?
What have you discovered?

The bones! The bones!
Of the dirty b*****d!
He was my good friend!
I spit on his rotting bones!

Coyote! Coyote!
Do not ever fall in love!
Do not ever fall in love!
