Largué el chupete
Largué el chupete
I Gave up the Pacifier
Canción infantil
Children's Song
(Spanish)
(English)
Largué el chupete
numero cien
ahora les ruego
¡guárdenlo bien!
porque no puedo
dejar el vicio,
¡es un suplicio!
no me fallen otra vez.
(Estribillo)
Todo el problema es cuando lloro,
me descontrolo y pataleo por doquier.
Entonces todos se desesperan,
que calesita la abuelita,
con mi abuelo al pelotero,
chupetín en maxi quiosco
de un señor que no conozco,
Y a la noche con papá o con mamá
Si se me pianta un lagrimón ¡así nomás!
ellos se rinden
si puchereo
Por el chupete, el chupete, el chupete, el chupete
el chupete el chupete... Acá taaa!
Sin el chupete
hablo mejor
grito mas claro
quiero alfajor
pero los grandes
no colaboran
porque me adoran
se preocupan un montón.
(Repite estribillo)
I gave up the pacifier,
'twas number one hundred,
Now I beg you,
Take care of it!
For I can't
Give up the vice,
It's torture!
Don't let me down again.
(Chorus)
The whole problem is when I cry,
I get out of control and stamp my feet everywhere.
Then complete despair,
Grandma, the merry-go-round,
Grandpa, the ball pit,
An unknown gentleman, a lollipop
From the stand,
And at night, with daddy and mommy,
If I shed a very big tear, just like that!
They surrender
If I look as if I'm going to cry
For the pacifier, the pacifier, the pacifier, the pacifier,
The pacifier, the pacifier… it's here!
Without the pacifier,
I speak better,
I shout more clearly
I want gingerbread,
But the grown ups
Don't agree,
Because they love me
They care a whole lot.
(Repeat chorus)

Here is a short genesis of "Tango para chicos"
When, one morning, Graciela Pesce was about to send her son to school, the boy, reluctant at first then with much more determination, expressed his will not to go that day, since they had "Ugh, tango!". That Mom, author and composer, knew at once what she must do. With a level-headed spirit and an intuition that didn't fail her as far as we can see, she set out so that her son and other kids like him would what tango was. Talking in a clear and easily understandable speech, she created a series of tangos "for kids". Preschool teacher, workgroup manager, educationalist and composer, Graciela Pesce released her first "Tango para chicos" CD in 1998.
