Aserrín, aserrán

Saw, Saw

Canción infantil

(Spanish)

Aserrín,
aserrán,
los maderos
de San Juan,
piden pan,
no les dan
piden queso
les dan hueso
y les cortan
el pescuezo

Children's Song

(English)

Saw,
Saw*,
The woodsmen
Of San Juan
Ask for bread,
They're given none,
Ask for cheese,
They're given a bone,
And their neck
is cut.

The way to play 'Aserrín, aserrán' is : child riding the adult's knees, the adult holds the child's hands and makes a push and pull saw movement."

*Note from Monique Palomares, " 'Aserrín' is sawdust, and 'aserrín, aserrán' is an onomatopoeic form to imitate the sound of the saw.

Many thanks to Fito Angueira for contributing this song and to Monique Palomares for translating it.

¡Muchas gracias!
