Arriba Juan, arriba Juan
ya cantó el gallito.
Ay no mamá, ay no mamá,
es muy tempranito.
Arriba Juan, arriba Juan,
hay que ir a la escuela.
Ay no mamá, ay no mamá,
me duele la muela.
Arriba Juan, arriba Juan,
pasan los soldados.
Ay sí mamá, ay sí mamá,
ya estoy levantado.
Get up John, get up John,
The rooster has already sung.
Oh no mommy, oh no mommy,
It's too early.
Get up John, get up John,
You have to go to school.
Oh no mommy, oh no mommy,
My tooth* hurts.
Get up John, get up John,
The soldiers are passing by.
Oh yes mommy, oh yes mommy,
I'm already up.
Notes
*"Muela" is specifically the molar tooth.
