Al corro de la patata - Spanish Children's Songs - Spain - Mama Lisa's World: Children's Songs and Rhymes from Around the World, Intro Image


Al corro de la patata
Comeremos ensalada,
Lo que comen los señores,
Naranjitas y limones.
¡Alupé, alupé,*
Sentadita me quedé!

At the potato circle dance
We will eat some salad
Like gentlemen eat,
Oranges and lemons
Alupé, alupé!*
Sitting down I stayed.

Notes

*Alternate Version: "A los pies, a los pies" ("At the feet, at the feet!")

Game Instructions

The children dance in a circle while singing the song. On "Alupé, alupé" they crouch down.
