Cinco elefantitos

Juego de dedos – (Spanish)

Cinco elefantitos, éste se cayó,

Cuatro elefantitos, éste se perdió,

Tres elefantitos, éste se enfermó,

Dos elefantitos, éste se murió.

Ahora queda uno, uno se quedó,

Y este elefantito, ¡me lo llevo yo!

¡Me lo llevo yo!

 Five Little Elephants

Finger Play – (English)

Five little elephants, this one fell down,

Four little elephants, this one lost its way,

Three little elephants, this one got sick,

Two little elephants, this one passed away.

Now one is left, one did stay,

And this little elephant, I’ll take it away!

I’ll take it away!
A la puerta del cielo

Canción infantil – (Spanish)

A la puerta del cielo

Venden zapatos

Para los angelitos

Que andan descalzos

Duérmete niño

Duérmete niño

Arrú arrú

A los niños que duermen

Dios los bendice

A las madres que velan

Dios las asiste

Duérmete niño

 At the Gates of Heaven

Lullaby – (English)

At the gates of heaven,

They sell shoes

For the little angels

That go barefoot.

Sleep baby,

Sleep baby,

Sleep baby,

Hush-a-bye now.

The children who sleep,

God bless them.

The mothers who watch,

God helps them.

Sleep baby,

Sleep baby,

Sleep baby,

Hush-a-bye now.
La pequeña araña

Canción infantil – (Spanish)

La pequeña araña

subió, subió, subió

vino la lluvia

y se la llevó.

Salió el sol

y todo lo secó

y la pequeña araña

subió, subió, subió.

 The Little Spider

Children’s Song – (English)

The little spider,

Climbed up, climbed up, climbed up,

Down came the rain,

And washed the spider out.

Out came the sun,

And dried it all up,

And the little spider,

Climbed up, climbed up, climbed up.
