Only in art does the lion lie down with the lamb, and the rose grow without thorn.

Solamente en el arte el león se acuesta con el cordero, y la rosa crece sin espina.

Hi jenny... El ranchero cuidará (or: criará) sus corderos y los protegerá de perjuicio (or: todo daño). I think is better to keep the future form: Entonces los comeremos. Well done. Sad but true ... and delicious (lo siento) - nelson_rafael, Jan 7, 2012
thanks nelson,I think they are delicious because the farmer looks after them so well.. - jennyo45, Jan 7, 2012
Yes, lots of vaccinations and they may live! - annierats, Jan 8, 2012

'María tenía un corderito' es una rima y una canción infantil bien conocida. Y además hay muchas parodias.

'Mary had a little lamb ' is a well-known children's rhyme and song. And there are many parodies as well.

A mi me parece el cordero como un animal tonto y menso. Tal vez por esto fue utilizado como animal de sacrificio.

It seems that the lamb is an animal stupid and tame. Perhaps for that reason was used as an animal of sacrifices

Original: Ten cuidado corderito, tu no querer tener un fin determinado como chuletas de cordero.

Corrected: Ten cuidado corderito, no querrás tener un fin (determinado) como chuletas de cordero.

Be careful little lamb, you do not want to end up as lamb-chops.

El cordero es uno de los cuatro animales terrestres que mi esposa está dispuesta a comer, y por eso siempre trato de asegurarme de que ella no vea uno vivo, así que yo pueda seguir comerlos para yo poder seguir comiéndolos.

Lamb is one of the four land animals that my wife is willing to eat, and because of this I always try to make sure that she does not see a living one, so that I can continue to eat them.

My biggest area of doubt is "de que ella no vea..." versus "de que no ve...", but there are lots of ways I could have gone wrong here. Thanks in advance. :-) - Stadt, Jan 7, 2012
"Vea" is the right choice here. "...uno vivo, para yo poder seguir comiéndolos". - Naomi_Callas, Jan 7, 2012
Gracias, naomi. :-) - Stadt, Jan 9, 2012

Hay muchas canciones acerca del codero inocente de Dios y una vez en el coro de la universidad cantamos un espiritual negro se llama "Pequeño cordero inocente".

There are many songs about the innocent lamb of God and one time in college we sang the negro spiritual called "Little innocent lamb".
