Flamingo is a song by Rob Cantor from his debut solo album, Not A Trampoline.

Flamingo features Spanish lyrics and a chorus sung by Andrew Laurich. When asked about the Spanish lyrics meaning, Laurich stated "The keys to the kingdom are locked up somewhere in some email exchange between young Cantor and myself. But consider that what’s important is less what is said than how it is said.".

Trivia

• For a time, Rob's favorite song off Not A Trampoline was Flamingo. This was because "it's simple, it's absurd, and it features my friend and "Old Bike" video director Andrew Laurich saying the word "flamingo" over and over again."

Lyrics

I feel like I might die a very happy man
I feel like I can fly but I don’t think I am
I feel like I’m a shy enormous pink flamingo man
Flamingo
Flamingo

Time is passing by, so don’t lead me around
One leg in the sky and one stuck on the ground
Floating down a sea of breeze and sending out my sound
Flamingo
Flamingo

Son felices
Son pequeños mis amigos
Los pequeños amigos de la jungla
Les gusta la gente contenta
No hay mal que por bien no venga
Sí, se requieren comprende
Nunca arriba y nunca se mueve
La gusta con nada decir
Tus hermanos y manos se quieren oír
Sueños hacen alegro
Flamingo rosa y negro

Translated Spanish Lyrics

They are happy
They are little, my friends
The little friends of the jungle
They like happy people
Nothing bad comes without something good¹
Yes, they need to understand
Never up and never moving
They like it with nothing to say
Your brothers and hands want to hear
Dreams make I glad
Pink and black flamingo
