Lyrics of Un camell d'Orient - Manel

Un camell d'Orient (original)

Un camell d’Orient entra a la ciutat
Carrega a la gepa un sac ple de regals
Pregunta al seu Rei quin camí han de seguir
Però l’home està ben adormit
El camell vol despertar-lo amb un crit
Que es perd en la nit
«Disculpi taxista, em podria orientar?
Som a nit de Reis, com vostè ja sabrà
Un nen i una nena ens estan esperant
Portem uns paquets de molt lluny
Però el Rei ha caigut en un somni profund
I estic tan perdut!»
Grimpa el camell, grimpa, grimpa pel fanal!
Descansa al balcó del pis principal
Es topa amb pa i aigua que li han preparat
Però el Rei dorm en el carreró
I el camell no vol malgastar l’ocasió
De tastar unes neules i un torró
I es mira al pessebre i es troba atractiu
Allà entre la molsa, travessant un riu
Però no queda temps i s’apropa al sofà
Amb les dents treu, amb cura, del sac
Una bicicleta de colors llampants
Unes nines russes i un soldat
Un camell d’Orient surt de la ciutat!
La gepa lleugera buida de regals!
El Rei es desperta i pregunta on estan
«Pot estar tranquil Majestat»
Contesta la bèstia avançant per l’asfalt
«ja l’avisaré en arribar»
I el sol va sortint i el rei segueix roncant!
I el sol va sortint i el rei segueix roncant!

(translation)

An Eastern camel enters the city
Carry a sack full of presents in your hump
Ask your King which way to go
But the man is fast asleep
The camel wants to wake him with a shout
That is lost in the night
“Excuse me taxi driver, could you guide me?
It's Twelfth Night, as you know
A boy and a girl are waiting for us
We carry packages from far away
But the King has fallen into a deep sleep
And I'm so lost! ”
Climb the camel, climb, climb the lantern!
Rest on the main floor balcony
He comes across bread and water prepared for him
But the King sleeps in the alley
And the camel doesn't want to waste it
To taste some waffles and a nougat
And he looks at the manger and finds it attractive
There in the moss, crossing a river
But there is no time left and he is approaching the sofa
With his teeth he carefully pulls it out of the sack
A brightly colored bicycle
Russian dolls and a soldier
An Eastern camel is out of town!
The light hump empty of gifts!
The King wakes up and asks where they are
"Your Majesty may be at ease"
Answer the beast by advancing on the asphalt
"I'll let you know when I arrive"
And the sun is rising and the king is still snoring!
And the sun is rising and the king is still snoring!
