El cocherito leré
Me dijo anoche leré
Que si quería leré
Montar en coche leré
Y yo le dije leré
Con gran salero leré
No quiero coche leré
Que me mareo leré.
El nombre de María
Que cinco letras tiene
La M, la A, la R
La I, la A: MARÍA
The young coach driver, leré
Asked me last night, leré
If I wanted to, leré
Get in a coach, leré
And I told him, leré
With great cleverness, leré
I don't want a coach, leré
It makes me sick, leré
The name Maria
Has five letters
The M, the A, the R
The I, the A: MARIA.
Game Instructions
Two children turn a long jump rope. Another kid enters and jumps to the rhythm, squatting while the kids who turn the rope raise it up above the head of the kid in the middle. This happens each time "leré" is said.
