Yo tengo unas tijeras

Rima de comba

(Spanish)

Yo tengo unas tijeras
que se abren
y se cierran
yo toco el cielo
yo toco la tierra
yo me arrodillo
y me salgo fuera.

I have Scissors

Jump Rope Rhyme

(English)

I have scissors
That open
And close,
I touch the sky,
I touch the ground
I kneel down,
And I go out.
