Arroz con leche me quiero casar
con una señorita de Portugal.
Que sepa tejer, que sepa bordar
que se sepa las tablas de multiplicar.
Que sepa barrer, que sepa planchar,
que sepa abrir la puerta para ir a jugar.
Con esta sí,
con esta no,
¡Con esta señorita me caso YO!
Rice Pudding, I want to marry,
A lady from Portugal,
Who knows how to knit, who knows how to embroider
Who knows the multiplication tables,
Who knows how to sweep, who knows how to iron,
Who knows how to open the door to go play
With this one yes,
With this one no,
With this one I'll be wed.

Tamara wrote, "I don't remember if it was a handclapping song or a circle game song or for jumping-rope. I think that I would play it with my friends in a circle, one would step forward, the others would clap hands, and so on till everybody had played or we got bored and would change the game.
