La Virgen de la Cueva
"A children's song to shower in the rain. At least, that's when we sang it. The tune of the first stanza it's actually the same as the tune to, "It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring..." -Edith
Note: "It's Raining, It's Pouring" is sung to the same tune as "A Tisket, A Tasket" (which dates back even earlier).

Children's Song

(English)
Que llueva, que llueva,
la Virgen de la Cueva;
los pajaritos cantan,
las nubes se levantan.
¡Que sí! ¡Que no!
¡Que caiga un chaparrón...
para lavar mi camisón
con agua y jabón!
Let it rain, let it rain,
O Virgin of the Cave;
The little birds are singing,
The clouds are awakening.
Oh, yes! Oh, no!
Let it rain a downpour!
So I can wash my nightgown
With water and soap!
