This is sung to the tune of Frere Jacques.
Carlos wrote from Mexico, "There's also 'Martinillo' but this is another version of 'Frere Jacques' that was sung in my kindergarten lol..."
Son las 12
It's Twelve o'clock
Canción infantil
(Spanish)
Children's Song
(English)
Son las 12, son las 12
Vamos ya, vamos ya
Vamos a casita
Vamos a casita
Con mamá
Y con papá
Son las 12, son las 12
Vamos ya, vamos ya
Toca la campana
Toca la campana
Ding, dong, dan
Ding, dong, dan.
It's 12 o'clock, it's 12 o'clock,
Let's go now, let's go now!
Let us go to our house,
Let us go to our house
with mommy
and with daddy.
It's 12 o'clock, it's 12 o'clock,
Let's go now, let's go now!
Go and ring the church bell
Go and ring the church bell,
Ding dong ding
Ding dong ding!
Notes
Note: "Vamos a casita" is baby talk for "vamos a casa" = "let's go home".
