El barquito chiquitito
The Tiny Little Boat
Canción infantil
(Spanish)
Children's Song
(English)
Había una vez un barquito chiquito,
Había una vez un barquito chiquito,
Que no sabía, que no podía,
Que no podía navegar.
Pasaron una, dos, tres,
Cuarto, cinco, seis, semanas;
Pasaron una, dos, tres,
Cuarto, cinco, seis semanas;
Y aquel barquito, y aquel barquito,
Y aquel barquito navegó.
Y si esta historia parece corta,
volveremos, volveremos, a empezar…
Había una vez un barquito chiquito,
Había una vez un barquito chiquito,
Que no sabía, que no podía,
Que no podía navegar...
There once was a tiny little boat
There once was a tiny little boat,
That didn't know how to, that couldn't,
That couldn't sail.
One, two, three, four, five, six weeks passed by,
One, two, three, four, five, six weeks passed by,
And that little boat, and that little boat,
And that little boat sailed.
And if this story seems short
Let's go back, let's go back and start over again…
There once was a tiny little boat
There once was a tiny little boat,
That didn't know how to, that couldn't,
That couldn't sail… etc.
