| As soon as he turned it on
| Tan pronto como lo encendió
|
| The wind outside of his room
| El viento fuera de su habitación.
|
| Stirred up for a few seconds
| Se agita durante unos segundos
|
| He thought to himself
| Pensó para sí mismo
|
| «I'll climb out my window
| «Saldré por mi ventana
|
| And go sit out there with my radio»
| Y ve a sentarte ahí con mi radio»
|
| Out the window he went
| Por la ventana se fue
|
| Sitting against a small stump
| Sentado contra un pequeño tocón
|
| Behind some flowerbeds
| Detrás de unos macizos de flores
|
| The light from his bedroom window he could still see
| La luz de la ventana de su dormitorio todavía podía ver
|
| The music of Bach was playing
| La música de Bach estaba sonando
|
| After a while it began to sound distant
| Después de un tiempo comenzó a sonar distante
|
| As the young prince gazed at this radio on his knee
| Mientras el joven príncipe miraba esta radio en su rodilla
|
| The music was floating away from his hearing
| La música flotaba lejos de su oído.
|
| What could be happening
| Que podría estar pasando
|
| He took it off of his knee
| Se lo quitó de la rodilla
|
| And put the radio to his ear
| Y ponle la radio al oído
|
| Nothing happened
| No pasó nada
|
| Then the transistor left his hands
| Entonces el transistor salió de sus manos.
|
| And was floating in the mid-air
| Y estaba flotando en el aire
|
| Two feet off the ground
| A dos pies del suelo
|
| As the prince laughed
| Mientras el príncipe se reía
|
| It suddenly turned around
| De repente se dio la vuelta
|
| And it was light green phosphorous in colour
| Y era de color verde claro fósforo
|
| Dancing back and forth
| Bailando de ida y vuelta
|
| The magic transistor
| El transistor mágico
|
| Started moving down his path
| Comenzó a moverse por su camino
|
| He could hear the sound out
| Podía escuchar el sonido
|
| Like nothing he had ever heard before
| Como nada que haya escuchado antes
|
| The trees were getting closer together
| Los árboles se estaban acercando
|
| And flowers glowed with tinges of magic light
| Y las flores brillaban con tintes de luz mágica
|
| As he followed thinking to himself
| Mientras seguía pensando para sí mismo
|
| «What's going on?»
| "¿Qué está sucediendo?"
|
| The transistor lifted slowly
| El transistor se elevó lentamente
|
| Up to the top of a little tree
| Hasta la copa de un arbolito
|
| And sat there
| y se sentó allí
|
| While it slowly became louder
| Mientras que lentamente se hizo más fuerte
|
| To where the prince could hear it clearly
| Hacia donde el príncipe pudiera oírlo claramente
|
| Fireflies shot across the path in front of the prince
| Las luciérnagas atravesaron el camino frente al príncipe.
|
| He turned around and couldn’t see the light from his window
| Se dio la vuelta y no pudo ver la luz de su ventana.
|
| There he was watching all alone all by himself
| Allí estaba mirando solo, solo, solo.
|
| He got a hunch to get back to his room
| Tuvo la corazonada de volver a su habitación.
|
| And he turned and ran right back | Y se dio la vuelta y corrió de regreso |
