La Merienda
Cri-Cri
Lyrics
Translation
Las siete ya van a dar
It's almost seven
El niño va a merendar
The child is going to have a snack
Las siete van a sonar
It's almost seven, they're about to chime
Y es cuento de no acabar
And it's a never-ending story
Porque el niño es un llorón
Because the child is a crybaby
Que siempre sale con esta canción
Who always comes out with this song
Ay, mamá
Oh, mom
Me duele mi diente
My tooth hurts
Porque traen la leche caliente
Because they bring hot milk
Yo así no la quiero tomar
I don't want to drink it like this
Que se la lleven a enfriar
Take it away to cool
Las siete ya van a dar
It's almost seven
Y el niño va a merendar
And the child is going to have a snack
Las siete van a sonar
It's almost seven, they're about to chime
Y es cuento de no acabar
And it's a never-ending story
Porque el niño es un llorón
Because the child is a crybaby
Que siempre sale con esta canción
Who always comes out with this song
Ay, mamá
Oh, mom
Mira a esta María
Look at this María
Siempre trae la leche muy fría
She always brings very cold milk
Yo así no la quiero tomar
I don't want to drink it like this
Que la vuelva a calentar
Have her heat it up again
Las siete ya van a dar
It's almost seven
Y el niño va a merendar
And the child is going to have a snack
Las siete van a sonar
It's almost seven, they're about to chime
Y es cuento de no acabar
And it's a never-ending story
Porque el niño es un llorón
Because the child is a crybaby
Que siempre sale con esta canción
Who always comes out with this song
Ay, mamá
Oh, mom
Ésto tiene nata
This has cream
La sirvienta esta es una lata
The maid is such a bother
Yo así no la quiero tomar
I don't want to drink it like this
Que se la lleve a colar
Have her strain it again
