Canción infantil

(English)
Se me ha perdido un gallito, la-lá,
Se me ha perdido un gallito, la-lá,
Pobrecito, la-lá,
Mi gallito, la-lá,
Y no lo puedo encontrar.
Tiene plumas amarillas, la-lá,
Tiene plumas amarillas, la-lá,
Aletea, la-lá,
Picotea, la-lá,
Y canta kikiríkí.
Tiene cresta colorada, la-lá,
Tiene cresta colorada, la-lá,
Y camina, la-lá,
Con un paso la-lá
Que parece militar.
Lo he buscado en todas partes, la, lá,
Lo he buscado en todas partes, la, lá,
en la Rusia la-lá,
en Siberia la-lá,
en la China y en Japón.
Si lo encuentra usted comadre, la-lá
Si lo encuentra usted compadre, la-lá
Lo acorrala, la-lá,
Me lo pilla, la-lá
Y lo trae para acá.
I lost my rooster, la-la,
I lost my rooster, la-la,
Poor little thing, la-la,
My little rooster, la-la
And I can't find him.
He has yellow feathers, la-la,
He has yellow feathers, la-la,
He flaps his wings, la-la,
He pecks, la-la
And sings cock-a-doodle-do.
He has a red comb, la-la,
He has a red comb, la-la,
And he walks, la-la,
With a step, la-la
That looks military.
I looked for him everywhere, la-la,
I looked for him everywhere, la-al,
In Russia, la-la,
In Siberia, la-la,
In China and in Japan.
If you find him, my friend, la-la
If you find him, buddy, la-la,
Corner him, la-la,
Catch him, la-la
And bring him here.
