El barquito chiquitito
The Tiny Boat
Canción infantil
Children's Song
(Spanish)
(English)
Había una vez un barquito chiquitito,
Había una vez un barquito chiquitito,
Que no podía, que no podía,
Que no podía navegar.
Pasaron un, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis semanas;
Pasaron un, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis semanas;
Y aquel barquito, y aquel barquito,
Y aquel barquito navegó.
Once upon a time there was a tiny little boat
Once upon a time there was a tiny little boat,
That could not, that could not,
That could not sail.
One, two, three, four, five, six weeks passed by,
One, two, three, four, five, six weeks passed by,
And that tiny boat, and that tiny boat,
And that tiny boat sailed.
In the recording, Alicia sings:
Había una vez un barquito chiquitito, (x2) (Once upon a time there was a tiny boat)
Que no podía, que no sabía, (That couldn't, that didn't know how to)
Que no podía navegar. (That couldn't sail.)
Pasaron un, dos, tres, cuarto, cinco, seis semanas (x2) One, two, three, four, five, six weeks passed by
Y aquel barquito, y aquel barquito, (And that tiny boat, and that tiny boat)
Y aquel barquito navegó. (And that tiny boat sailed)
Y si esta historia parece corta, (And if this story seems short)
Volveremos, volveremos a empezar (We'll start it over again, again.)
Many thanks to Alicia Calvo for contributing and recording this song for us.
Thanks!
Había una vez un barquito chiquitito, (x2) (Once upon a time there was a tiny boat)
Que no sabía, que no sabía, (That didn't know [how], that didn't know [how])
Que no sabía navegar. (That didn't know how to sail.)
Pasaron un, dos, tres, cuarto, cinco, seis, semanas; (x2) ( One, two, three, four, five, six weeks passed by,)
Y aquel barquito, y aquel barquito, (And that tiny boat, and that tiny boat)
Y aquel barquito navegó. (And that tiny boat sailed)
Y si esta historia parece corta, (And if this story seems short)
Volveremos, volveremos a empezar. (We'll start it again, again.)
