Oso carpintero.
Pedro Infante
Lyrics
Translation
Este era un oso carpintero
This was a carpenter bear
Que vivía muy pobre
Who lived very poor
Lloraba porque sus ositos
He cried because his little bears
Le chillaban de hambre
Cried out of hunger
La urraca le robo el martillo
The magpie stole his hammer
Clavos y serrote
Nails and saw
Lloraba porque su herramienta
He cried because his tools
No podía comprar
He couldn't buy
Oye papacito quero pan-
Listen daddy, I want bread-
Hijo de mi vida no lo hay-
My dear child, there's none-
Un lindo y rico venado
A beautiful and rich deer
Que oyó del oso la pena
Who heard of the bear's sorrow
Le dio cuarenta monedas
Gave him forty coins
Pa' herramienta y material
For tools and materials
Y el oso con sus seis ositos
And the bear with his six little bears
Hizo bicicletas
Made bicycles
Con ruedas de naranjas dulces
With wheels of sweet oranges
Y con sus cornetas (bip, bip)
And with their horns (beep, beep)
Los gatos las compraron todas
The cats bought them all
Para echar carreras
To have races
En contra de los conejitos
Against the bunnies
Del palacio real
From the royal palace
Y gano con esto un dineral
And with this he earned a fortune
Y le dio al venado un festival
And gave the deer a festival
Y hoy tiene tan gran tesoro
And now he has such a great treasure
Que a cada osito le ha dado
That he gave each little bear
Tres costalitos de oro
Three little sacks of gold
Mil juguetes miel y pan
A thousand toys, honey, and bread
