Es Verde! (part 2)


Shortly after my "Es Verde!" article, Lena and I attended a Spanish chapel service. One of the songs was lovely and we had the following conversation:


Bill: That was a lovely song, but I had a hard time figuring out what it was about.


Lena: It was lovely. I think I got the translation.


Bill: Really? What were we singing?


Lena: "Without you, Lord, I would be like a boiled Parrot lying dead on the street."

Kelly and I both like that one. It's a great practice of the past subjunctive as well. You'll get that in the third trimester.
