Spanish Song – Yo te daré (I Will Give You) with an MP3
Élodie Chebat sent us Yo te daré in Spanish with an mp3 recording. You can hear her sing it below, and read along with the lyrics, followed by an English translation…
Yo te daré
Yo te daré
Te daré mi hermosa
Te daré una cosa
Una cosa que yo sólo sé, caféI Will Give You
(English Translation)I will give you,
I will give you my pretty,
I will give you a thing,
The only thing I know, coffee.
Many thanks to Élodie Chebat for contributing this song and for singing it for us, and to Monique Palomares of Mamá Lisa’s World en español for translating it into English.
Check out the Yo te daré song page for the midi, the score and a French translation.
Enjoy!

Wrong Lyric!
Correct lyric is:
Yo te daré
Te daré una cosa,
und cosa hermosa
Una cosa que yo sólo sé, o-lé

I’m sorry Rösch but unless you can provide a copyrighted document showing that yours are the correct lyrics, we’ll have to consider that they are another version of the song (Cf. Mama Lisa’s Blog post about traditional songs. You just have to put “Yo te daré, te daré niña hermosa” into Google to see how many “wrong lyrics” are around. And check this Porto Rico children’s songbook.

Even if someone wrote a song, say 200 years ago, and had a “correct” version, and then 50 or 100 years later people changed the song and started singing it differently, you’d have to consider the new version legitimate too. Since that would be the one that everyone’s singing.
With Spanish songs, the issue is even more confusing since they travel so far and wide. There are many versions that exist and for everyone who sings it… their version feels like the “REAL” one. The fact is that there are many versions of songs and rhymes. Viva la différence!
