Canción infantil

En el agua clara que brota en la fuente,
Un lindo pescado sale de repente.
¿Lindo pescadito no quieres salir
A jugar conmigo?* ¡Vamos al jardín!
Yo vivo en el agua: no puedo salir
Porque si me salgo, me puedo morir.
¿Lindo pescadito no quieres salir
A jugar conmigo? ¡Vamos al jardín!
Yo vivo en el agua: no puedo salir
Mi mamá me dijo, ¡No salgas de aquí!
Lindo pescadito, yo te debo amar
Porque a tu mamita sabes respetar.
In the clear water that flows from the fountain,
A cute fish comes out suddenly.
"Pretty little fish, don't you want to come out
To play with me? Let's go to the garden!"
"I live in the water, I cannot go out,
Because if I get out, I can die."
"Cute little fish don't you want to go out
To play with me? Let's go to the garden!"
"I live in the water, I cannot go out.
My mom told me, 'Don't leave here!
Cute little fish, I must love you
Because you know how to respect your mom.'"
Notes
*Alternate version: "A jugar con mi aro" (to play with my hoop).
