Spanish Listening Comprehension - Intermediate Level
Transcript and Translation
    

Capítulo 19 Chapter 19
« Dios mío, Enrique. Mira a nuestro alrededor. ¡Estamos en un cementerio! » "My goodness, Enrique. Look around us. We are in a cemetery!"
El viento continúa silbando: « Enrique... Enrique... ». The wind continues to whistle, "Enrique... Enrique..."
Hay tumbas por todos lados.  Hay lápidas de todos los tamaños, de todo tipo. There are tombs everywhere. There are tombstones of all sizes, of all sorts.
« ¿Qué significa este cementerio? », dice Enrique con un aire preocupado. "What's this cemetery?" says Enrique with a worried look.
« No me gusta. Quiero regresar », dice como un niño consentido. "I don't like it. I want to go back," he says like a spoiled child.
« ¿Quieres regresar?  No me hagas reír, Enrique. ¿Adónde quieres regresar exactamente? ». "You want to go back? Don't make me laugh, Enrique. Where do you want to go back to, exactly?"
« Yo no sé, pero... ». "I don't know but ..."
« Oh, cállate. Tú sabes muy bien que … » "Oh, be quiet. You know very well that ..."
Interrumpo mi respuesta, porque de inmediato, mi vista es atraída por una lápida que no es como las otras. I cut short my reply because my eyes are immediately attracted to a tombstone that is not like the others.
En efecto, su epitafio es bastante curioso, como se puede ver por la siguiente inscripción: Indeed, its epitaph is quite curious as can be witnessed by the following inscription:
Él no esperó que la puerta retorcida se abriera sola.

¡Peor para él! Se quedará aquí para siempre.

He did not wait for the twisted door to open by itself.

Too bad for him! He will stay here forever.

Nos miramos. ¿Qué significa eso? We look at each other. What does that mean?
¿Quién no esperó? Who did not wait?
