Que se vengan los chicos
Let the Boys Come
Canción infantil
(Spanish)
Que se vengan los chicos
de todas partes,
que estén los de la Luna
y los de Marte.
Que se vengan los chicos
de los planetas,
prendidos de la cola
de algún cometa.
Que no falte ninguno
a mi cumpleaños.
Y que no se preocupen
por los regalos.
Tra lara lara lara
tra lara lero,
que estén todos los chicos
del mundo entero.
Algunos que de Venus,
dicen venían,
trajeron de regalo
Las Tres Marías.
El chico de la Luna,
petiso y fiero,
me regaló una nube
que halló en el cielo.
Los de Marte me dieron
un sorpresón;
pues cada uno traía
rayos de sol.
Tra lara lara lara
tra lara lero,
ya están todos los chicos
del mundo entero.
Children's Song
(English)
Let the boys come
From everywhere,
Let the ones from the Moon
And the ones from Mars be here.
Let the boys come
From all the planets,
Hanging on the tail
Of a comet.
Not one must be missing
On my birthday.
And they mustn't worry
About gifts.
Tra lara lara lara
Tra lara lero
Let the boys come
From all over the world.
Some who they said
Were coming from Venus
Brought the Three Mary's*
As a present.
The boy from the Moon
Short and fierce
Gave me a cloud
He found in the heavens.
The ones from Mars gave me
A big surprise;
For each one was bringing
Sun beams.
Tra lara lara lara
Tra lara lero
Now all the boys are here
From all over the world.
