Below, I translated the lyrics of the song My Boy Builds Coffins by Florence + The Machine from English to Spanish.
My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails
Mi niño construye ataúdes con martillos y clavos
He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails
No construye barcos, no le sirven las velas
He doesn't make tables, dressers or chairs
No hace mesas, tocadores ni sillas
He can't carve a whistle 'cause he just doesn't care
No puede tallar un silbido porque simplemente no le importa
My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor
Mi hijo construye ataúdes para ricos y pobres
Kings and queens have all knocked on his door
Reyes y reinas han llamado a su puerta
Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves
Mendigos y mentirosos, gitanos y ladrones
They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please
Todos vienen a él porque está ansioso por complacer
My boy builds coffins, he makes them all day
Mi chico construye ataúdes, los hace todo el día
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
Pero no es sólo para trabajar ni para jugar
He's made one for himself
Él ha hecho uno para sí mismo
One for me too
uno para mi tambien
One of these days he'll make one for you
Un día de estos te hará uno
For you, for you, for you
Para ti, para ti, para ti
My boy builds coffins for better or worse
Mi chico construye ataúdes para bien o para mal
Some say it's a blessing, some say it's a curse
Algunos dicen que es una bendición, otros dicen que es una maldición
He fits them together in sunshine or rain
Los une bajo el sol o la lluvia
Each one is unique, no two are the same
Cada uno es único, no hay dos iguales
My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame
Mi chico construye ataúdes y creo que es una pena
That when each one's been made, he can't see it again
Que cuando cada uno haya sido hecho, no pueda volver a verlo
He crafts every one with love and with care
Él elabora cada uno con amor y cuidado
Then it's thrown in the ground, it just isn't fair
Luego lo tiran al suelo, simplemente no es justo
My boy builds coffins, he makes them all day
Mi chico construye ataúdes, los hace todo el día
But it's not just for work and it isn't for play
Pero no es sólo para trabajar ni para jugar
He's made one for himself
Él ha hecho uno para sí mismo
One for me too
uno para mi tambien
And one of these days he'll make one for you
Y un día de estos te hará uno
For you, for you, for you, for you
Para ti, para ti, para ti, para ti
