Lyrics

Translation

A levantarse,

Get up,

Dijo la rana,

Said the frog,

Mientras espiaba

While spying

Por la ventana

Through the window,

Tira con tirita

Pull with a bandage

Y ojal con botón.

And a buttonhole with a button.


Un pajarito

A little bird

Que está en la cama

That's in bed

Busca el zapato

Looks for the shoe

Bajo la rama

Under the branch,

Tira con tirita

Pull with a bandage

Y ojal con botón.

And a buttonhole with a button.


Aupa, dijeron

Up, said

Cuatro ratones,

Four mice,

Y se quitaron

And they took off

Los camisones

The nightgowns,

Tira con tirita

Pull with a bandage

Y ojal con botón.

And a buttonhole with a button.


No hallo mi flauta,

I can't find my flute,

Protestó el grillo,

Protested the cricket,

Y la tenía

And it was in

En el bolsillo.

The pocket.


Tira con tirita

Pull with a bandage

Y ojal con botón

And a buttonhole with a button

Una gallina

A hen

Muerta de risa

Dead from laughter

Se pone el gorro

Puts on the hat

Y la camisa

And the shirt,

Tira con tirita

Pull with a bandage

Y ojal con botón

And a buttonhole with a button.


Medio dormido

Half asleep

Dice el morrongo:

Says the morrongo:

"Cuando madrugo

"When I wake up early,

Siempre rezongo"

I always complain."

Tira con tirita

Pull with a bandage

Y ojal con botón.

And a buttonhole with a button.


Y el sapo dice:

And the toad says:

"¡Qué disparate,

What nonsense,

Desayunarse

To have breakfast

Con chocolate!"

With chocolate!


Tira con tirita

Pull with a bandage

Y ojal con botón

And a buttonhole with a button

Tira con tirita

Pull with a bandage

Y ojal con botón

And a buttonhole with a button
