Can Anyone Help with Any Songs from Honduras, Guatemala and/or Belize?
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009I received these two notes below on the Mama Lisa’s World Facebook Group and was wondering if anyone could help?
1) Juanita Edington wrote…
“Love all of the resources on mama lisa’s world regarding songs of countries around the world. I needed songs from various Central and South American countries and found many to use at school with the only ones that I still needed were Honduras, Guatemala and Belize.”
Here’s another one…
2) Laura Gurdo wrote…

Thanks . LauraIf anyone can help Juanita or Laura with songs from any of these countries, please let us know in the comments below. Even if the songs are only in the original languages, that would still be great!
Thanks in advance.

Here’s the version of Aserrín, aserrán that the kids are singing…

Piden vino si les dan,
Se marean y se van, van, van.Saw, Saw,
The woodsmen of San Juan
Ask for bread,
They’re given none,
Ask for cheese,
They’re given a bone.
Ask for wine, if they’re given some
They get sick and go back home.Many different versions of this song exist. Below you’ll find links to the lyrics of this song from some other countries, along with directions about how to play the game…

On January 6th, The Three Wise Men Leave Gifts for Children in Spain
Thursday, January 5th, 2006January 6th is the Epiphany. It’s the day the baptism of Christ is celebrated.
January 6th is also the Day of the Three Magi Kings or Wise Men. Their names are Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. The Epiphany is celebrated in some countries as the day the three wise men visited the infant baby Jesus. This is especially important in Spain and other Hispanic cultures around the world, where the day is called Fiesta de Los Tres Reyes Mages.
The Day of the Three Magi is celebrated like Christmas in Spain. It’s the day the children are given presents. On the night of the 5th, instead of stockings, kids leave their shoes out, stuffed with straw. It’s not Santa who comes in the middle of the night leaving the children presents. Instead, it’s the three magi who come bringing gifts for the kids, just like they gave the baby Jesus presents in honor of his birth. The straw in the children’s shoes is for the Wise Men’s camels to eat.
To celebrate the Epiphany in Spain there are also often parades featuring the three magi…
The special food that is eaten on the Epiphany is called Roscón de Reyes, meaning “twisted roll of kings”. It’s a loaf in the shape of a crown with fruit and nuts on top and filled with chocolate or whipped cream. There’s supposed to be a gold coin inside it. It’s said that the person who finds the coin will have good luck throughout the upcoming year.
Hear the song called Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar from Argentina.
Happy Epiphany!
