(English)
Soy el niño de jengibre
por la boca tengo miel,
por los ojos tengo pasas,
y con ellos puedo ver.
En un horno me pusieron,
en un horno me cocí.
Y al abrir mamá la puerta,
rapidito me salí.
Y corran, que corran, que corran.
Corran, que corran tras mí.
Por más que me corran, y corran,
no me alcanzarán a mí.
I am a gingerbread boy,
for my mouth I have honey,
for eyes I have raisins,
and with them I can see.
They put me in an oven,
in an oven I baked.
And when mother open the door,
I quickly jumped out.
They can run, run, run.
Run, and run behind me.
But no matter how fast they run,
They will never catch me.
