Ahí está la luna
There's the Moon
Canción infantil
(Spanish)
Lullaby
(English)
Ahí está la luna
Comiendo su tuna
Echando las cáscaras
En la laguna...
There's the moon
Eating his prickly pear,
Throwing the peels
Into the lagoon.
Notes
Alternate Version:
Allá está la luna,
Comiendo aceitunas.
Yo le pedí una,
No me quiso dar.
Saqué el pañuelito,
Me puse a llorar.
English Translation:
There's the moon
Eating olives.
I asked her for one,
She didn't want to give me any.
I took out a tissue,
I started to cry.
