Ronda de la luna
"This round is one of the oldest and best known of our country, it has a beautiful poetic sense and does not offer major difficulties in its melody and rhythm. The players, usually a group of girls, form circles, singing and going around at the same time." –Translated from the Spanish, CANCIONES, JUEGOS Y RONDAS

(English)
Ya las niñas van danzando
Con los guantes al revés
Y la luna va sin alas
Va sin alas sin pies.
¡Oh luna carirredonda¡
Que desde arriba te ves
Ven a bailar en la ronda
Dos y dos y dos son seis.
Y la luna va sin alas
Va sin alas va sin pies.
¡Oh luna carirredonda¡
¿Dónde dejaste los pies?
Ven a bailar la ronda
Dos y dos y dos son seis.
Girls are already dancing
With their gloves inside out
And the moon goes without wings,
Goes without wings, without feet.
Oh, round-faced moon!
How from above you see,
Come dance in the circle
Two and two and two are six.
And the moon goes without wings,
Goes without wings, goes without feet.
Oh, round-faced moon!
Where did you leave your feet?
Come dance in the circle
Two and two and two are six.
