La Casa Y El Lobo Lyrics in English Ismael Serrano

Home / Lyrics Translation / Ismael Serrano / La Casa Y El Lobo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Casa Y El Lobo by Ismael Serrano from Spanish to English.

The youngest little pig bought his house

Built with adobe and straw, it was his home

He dressed it in sunrises and memories

A hug awaited you on the threshold

A fierce wolf granted the mortgage

A golden cage with high interest

The little pig worked and worked

To fulfill his duty on time

'And I'll blow and I'll blow if your money

Doesn't fill the pockets of the fierce wolf'

'And I'll blow and I'll blow; better than fear

There's no incentive for a good payer.'

A cold and intense winter

The sky burst into pieces

And in the adobe and straw house

They were left without work

Who dared to blame you for the shipwreck

You, that always worked and worked

At month's end the eviction order arrived

The cowardly wolf soon howled

The smallest little pig refused

To leave his house in usurers' hands

The family barricades itself at the door

'There'll be no wind that dismantles our dreams'

But the fierce wolf came with his entourage

Of expert blowers without mercy

And they ready their lungs while there trembles

The memory of your hug on the threshold

'And I'll blow and I'll blow, because your money

Doesn't reach the pockets of the fierce wolf

'And I'll blow and I'll blow; better than fear

There's no incentive for a good payer'

Suddenly a river of people

Appeared firm and furious

And the adobe and straw house

They surrounded like a wall

The lung of one blower

Let out a faint sigh

The tide answered

The neighbor's harassment

'And you'll blow and you'll blow,' everyone shouted

'And not one partition wall of this house will move'

'And I'll blow and I'll blow,' the wolf shouted

And the whole street burst into laughter

And little by little the wolf with his entourage

Left the eviction, head down

It's the tide that now blows on the wound

Not the relentless greed of the wolves

SONG MEANING

Imagine the Three Little Pigs, but instead of a fairytale forest we are in Spain during an economic crisis. Ismael Serrano turns the familiar story into a sharp social commentary where the smallest pig buys a humble adobe-and-straw house, only to be trapped by a fierce wolf in the shape of a greedy banker. The wolf’s threats to “huff and puff” become the pressure of high-interest mortgages and looming evictions, while the cold winter symbolizes recession and unemployment swallowing honest workers who “worked and worked”.

Yet this is not a tale of guaranteed defeat. When the wolf arrives with his crew of professional sopladores (blowers), the neighborhood rises like a human wall, chanting back the wolf’s own menace: “Soplarás y soplarás… ¡pero la casa no se moverá!” Their collective laughter and solidarity drive the wolf away, proving that community unity can be stronger than financial oppression. The song blends nostalgia, indignation, and hope, reminding listeners that together we can protect fragile dreams from the storms of greed.
