Chocolate, molinillo*,
corre, corre que te pillo,
correrás, correrás
pero no me pillarás.
Chocolate, little mill*,
Run, run, or I'll catch you.
You will run, you will run,
But you won't catch me.
| MIDI Tune of Chocolate, molinillo (Click to listen) | ![]() |

*A molinillo is a little whisk used for stirring chocolate milk in some countries like Mexico - it looks like the whisk in the picture above.
Many thanks to Cleofé García González for contributing this song and to Monique Palomares for translating it and creating the midi music.
¡Muchas gracias!
My three year old daughter asked me why chocolate is brown. Living in the 21st century, my first instinct was to do a search on the internet to find out. I came across a site called "The Cocoa Tree" that showed us that cocoa beans are not actually brown until they're fermented. The site has short videos that show how cocoa beans go from the tree to becoming part of delicious chocolate bars. Click the link to go to "The Cocoa Tree" site. -Mama Lisa (2004)
