A Well-known Spanish Kids Song called “Saw, Saw” with a YouTube Video

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Here you can watch some Chilean children singing Aserrín, aserrán – Saw, Saw – a popular Spanish childrens song. Below the video you’ll find the lyrics in Spanish, followed by an English translation.

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

Aserrín, aserrán,
Los maderos de San Juan
Piden pan,
No les dan,
Piden queso
Le dan hueso
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…

A Bolivian Song about May in Spanish with an English Translation

Friday, May 19th, 2006

Here’s a song from Bolivia about a girl talking to her mother in the month of May. May is when Mothers Day is celebrated in Bolivia. This might be a nice song for the occasion.

The lyrics are in Spanish with an English translation and a midi of the tune…

Tarde de mayo
(Spanish)

Una tarde* fresquita de mayo
Monté mi caballo y me fui a pasear
por la senda donde mi mamita
graciosa y risueña solía pasear,
yo la vi que cortaba una rosa,
yo la vi que cortaba un clavel
y le dije mamita hermosa,
me das esa rosa,
me das el clavel,
y me dijo muy fina y galante
al instante yo te los daré
si me juras que siempre
muy buena, estudiosa y amante
conmigo serás.

*Tarde can mean afternoon or evening in Spanish.

On a Cool Evening in May
(English)

On a cool evening in May
I took my horse and went for a ride
On the path where my Mommy,
Gracious and smiling, used to stroll
And I saw her pick a rose
And I saw her pick a carnation
And I told her, nice Mommy
Give me this rose
Give me this carnation
And she told me, very shrewdly and gallantly
I’ll give them to you at once
If you’ll swear to me that always,
You’ll be very nice, studious and loving
To me.

Midi of Tarde de Mayo

Many thanks to Susana Mariscal, Daniel Dorado and Joaquin Dorado for contributing this song, and to Monique Palomares of Mama Lisa’ World en français for translating it and for creating the midi. ¡Muchas Gracias!

A Spanish Christmas Carol from Bolivia – “HUACHI TORITO” (Giddy-up Little Bull)

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

Here’s a Bolivian Christmas song in Spanish and with an English translation…

Huachí toritó (Villancico)
(Spanish)

Que le daremos al niño bonito.
Que le daremos que no le haga mal,
le daremos una cesta de guindas
para que coma y pueda jugar.

Al huachí, huachi toritó
toritó del corralitó
Al huachí, huachi toritó
toritó del corralitó.

Al niñó recién nacido
todos le ofrecen un don,
yo soy pobre, nada tengo
le ofrezco mi corazón.

Huachitó, toritó
toritó del corralitó
Huachitó, toritó
toritó del corralitó.

San José y María
y Santa Isabel
vagan por las calles
de Jerusalén.

Preguntando a todos
del niño Jesús
Todos les responden
que ha muerto en la cruz.
Todos les responden
que ha muerto en la cruz.

Al huachí, huachi toritó
toritó del corralitó
Al huachí, huachi toritó
toritó del corralitó.

Here’s an English translation of Huachi toritó…

Giddy-up, Little Bull
(Christmas Carol)

What will we give to the nice baby
What will we give that’d do him no harm
We’ll give him a basket of Morillo cherries
So he can eat and play.

Giddy-up! Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farm.
Giddy-up! Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farm.

To the new-born baby
They all give a present
I am poor, I have nothing,
I give him my heart.

Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farm.
Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farm.

Saint Joseph and Mary
And Saint Elizabeth
Are roaming in the streets
Of Jerusalem.

They’re asking everybody for
News of the infant Jesus
All of them answer
He died on the cross.

Giddy-up! Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farmyard
Giddy-up! Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farmyard.

Many thanks to Susana Mariscal, Daniel Dorado and Joaquin Dorado for contributing this song, and to Monique Palomares at Mama Lisa’s World en français for the English translation. ¡Muchas gracias!
