Translation

La patita

The little duck

De canasto y con rebozo de bolita

With a basket and a small shawl

Va al mercado

Goes to the market

A comprar todas las cosas del mandado

To buy all the things on the shopping list


Se va meneando al caminar

She sways as she walks

Como los barcos en altamar

Like the ships on the high seas


La patita

The little duck

Va corriendo y buscando en su bolsita

Runs and searches in her little bag

Centavitos

For small coins

Para darles de comer a sus patitos

To feed her ducklings

Porque ella sabe que al retornar

Because she knows that upon returning

Toditos ellos preguntarán

They will all ask

¿Qué me trajiste, mamá cuac cuac?

What did you bring me, mommy quack-quack?

¿Qué me trajiste para cuac-cuac?

What did you bring me for quack-quack?


La patita

The little duck

Como tú

Like you

De canasto y con rebozo de bolita

With a basket and a small shawl

Como tú

Like you

Se ha enojado

She's upset

Como tú

Like you

Por lo caro que está todo en el mercado

Because everything in the market is expensive


Como no tiene para comprar

Since she doesn't have money to buy

Se pasa el día en regatear

She spends the day haggling


Sus patitos

Her ducklings

Van creciendo y no tienen zapatitos

Are growing and have no little shoes

Y su esposo

And her husband

Es un pato sinvergüenza y perezoso

Is a shameless and lazy duck

Que no da nada para comer

Who doesn't provide anything to eat

Y la patita ¿pues qué va a hacer?

And the little duck, what will she do?

Cuando le pidan, contestará

When they ask her, she will reply

¡Coman mosquitos

Eat mosquitoes

Para cuac-cuac!

For quack-quack!
