Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Show Del Perro Salchicha by María Elena Walsh from Spanish to English.

Dachshund dog, chubby belly

Soaking up the sun by the seaside

Wearing a sailor hat

And instead of a suit, he put on a collar

A somewhat drowsy seagull, cross-eyed and with a worried face

Comes gliding, looking for breakfast for her chick

She lands quickly because she spots a fat creature like a sausage

She says, "How delicious!" and opening her beak

She catches the little dog like a shrimp

Dachshund dog, calmly

Thinks he's flying in a helicopter

The bird, how she swings him

Among the clouds and above the sea!

She takes him to the cave

Where the chick got tired of waiting

She puts hare on the plate instead of cat

Something that can happen to all of us

The chick chirps energetically

Says, "Mom, your radar failed"

Breakfast is very dog-like

When she pecks it, he starts barking

Mrs. Seagull gets all worked up

Dachshund dog gives her a bite

In the fight

How ugly!

Feathers fly here and there

Mrs. Seagull, eye in a mess

Dachshund dog with more than one bump

That's how the commotion ends

I hope it will serve as a lesson

For those heading to the beach

To be wary of a plane trip

And above all, make sure

They aren't mistaken

For a shrimp
