Lyrics & Translation
English
Look at that turtle go, bro
On a far away island of Salamasond
Yertle the turtle was king of the pond
A nice little pond, it was clean it was neat
The water was warm, there was plenty to eat
Until one day the king of them all
Decided the kingdom he ruled was too small
I'm a ruler of all that I see
But I don't see enough and that's the trouble with me
With this stone for a throne, I am too low down
I cannot look down upon the places beyond
So Yertle the turtle king lifted his hand
And Yertle the turtle king gave a command
He ordered all the turtles onto one another's back
He piled them high into a ten turtle stack
I'm Yertle the turtle, the things I now rule
I'm king of a cow, I'm king of a mule
Look at that turtle go, bro
Then down from below
In the great turtle stack
Came a burp from a plain
Little turtle named Mack
Just part of the throne
This burping' little turtle
Looked up and said "I beg
Your pardon king Yertle"
I've pains in my back
My shoulders and my knees
How long must we stand
Here your majesty
"Silence!" the king of the turtles barked back
To the bad burping little turtle named Mack
I'm Yertle the turtle, oh marvelous me
For I am ruler of all that I see
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Wow!
Look at that turtle go, bro
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle
Yertle, Yertle the turtle

Yertle The Turtle (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Mira a esa tortuga ir, hermano
En una lejana isla de Salamasond
Yertle la tortuga era rey del estanque
Un lindo estanquito, estaba limpio y ordenado
El agua estaba tibia, había mucho para comer
Hasta que un día el rey de todos ellos
Decidió que el reino que gobernaba era muy pequeño
Soy un gobernante de todo lo que veo
Pero no veo suficiente y ese es mi problema
Con esta piedra por trono, estoy demasiado abajo
No puedo mirar hacia abajo a los lugares más allá
Así que Yertle el rey tortuga levantó su mano
Y Yertle el rey tortuga dio una orden
Ordenó a todas las tortugas que se subieran a la espalda de las otras
Las apiló alto en una torre de diez tortugas
Soy Yertle la tortuga, las cosas que ahora gobierno
Soy rey de una vaca, soy rey de una mula
Mira a esa tortuga ir, hermano
Luego desde abajo
En la gran pila de tortugas
Vino un eructo de una simple
Tortuguita llamada Mack
Solo parte del trono
Esta tortuguita que eructaba
Miró hacia arriba y dijo "Le ruego
Su perdón rey Yertle"
Tengo dolores en mi espalda
Mis hombros y mis rodillas
¿Cuánto tiempo debemos estar de pie
Aquí su majestad
"¡Silencio!" ladró de vuelta el rey de las tortugas
A la mala tortuguita que eructaba llamada Mack
Soy Yertle la tortuga, oh yo maravilloso
Porque soy gobernante de todo lo que veo
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
¡Guau!
Mira a esa tortuga ir, hermano
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
Yertle, Yertle la tortuga
