Ora de despertar

English translation:
The sun shines through my window
The shadows dance along
The birds all play outside
As they sing their song
Time to wake up, time to wake up
Time to catch the day!
Time to wake up, time to wake up
It’s a brand new day!
First I stretch my arms
And then I do my toes
Then I lift my legs
Right up until my ears
Time to wake up…
I jump out of my bed
I dress myself in clothes
Then I brush my teeth
And I put on my shoes
Time to wake up…
I greet my siblings hello,
My dog and my kittens
Then I eat my breakfast,
And my parents give me kisses.
Time to wake up…

I like to eat eggs
And drink a cup of milk
I like my toast
And to finish with some fruit
Breakfast, yes breakfast
The morning meal of the day!
Breakfast, yes breakfast
The first meal of the day!
I like to eat tomatoes
And drink some lemonade
I like a sandwich
And to finish with some fruit
Lunch, yes lunch
The afternoon meal of the day!
Lunch, yes lunch
The second meal of the day!
I like to eat spinach
And drink a cup of water
I like to eat a steak
And finish with some fruit
Dinner, yes dinner
The evening meal of the day!
Dinner, yes dinner
The third meal of the day!
And maybe, yes maybe,
I’ll get a special treat
If I’m good, my mother will give me
Something sweet to eat
Dessert, yes dessert
The best meal of the day!
Dessert, yes dessert
My favorite meal of the day!

English translation:
“What’s new” is a happy greeting, when we’re glad to see our friends
What’s new, greetings, hello, good day, welcome!
You can say it to your friends, and to your family too
You can say it in your house, or outside on the street
You can say it in the morning, the afternoon or night
You can say it anytime, when you’re happy or you’re sad
Only time you might not want to say it… is if you mean goodbye!

Hands are for holding!
Arms are for hugging!

Lips are for kissing!
Eyes are for seeing
Ears are for listening
A nose is for smelling
A mouth is for eating
Hands are for holding…
A neck is for turning
Shoulders for lifting
Elbows for leaning
Fingers for touching
Hands are for holding…
Legs are for jumping
Knees are for sitting
Feet are for walking
Toes are for wiggling
Hands are for holding…

Si yo era el sielo

|
English translation:
If I were the sky I’d be so blue
If I were a cloud I’d be soft like dew
If I were a star, I’d twinkle bright
If I were the moon I’d shine all night
If I were the grass I’d be so green
If I were a flower, I’d have a pretty sheen
If I were a leaf I’d flutter on by
If I were a tree I’d reach up high
If I were the sun I’d shine so yellow
If I were the wind I’d blow like a willow
If I were the air I’d smell so sweet
If I were a bird I’d go “tweet, tweet, tweet”
If I were a rainbow I’d start with red
If I were a raindrop I’d dance on your head
If I were a mountain, I’d watch over you above
If I were the sea, I’d buoy you with love

English translation:
Will you look like me?
Will you be a surprise?
Will you have my same
Dark hair and eyes?
Will you sound like me?
Will you like to sing?
Will you whistle to yourself,
And have a sweet ring?
Will you grow to be strong?
Will you grow to be happy?
Will you grow to be good?
Will you grow to be kind?
Will you spread your wings?
Will you fly in the sky?
Will you jump through the air,
And greet the clouds hi?
Will you smile at the sun?
Will you embrace the rain?
Will you learn to love,
And feel the pain?
Will you grow to be strong?...
Will you be like me?
Will you be like you?
Will you know I’m here,
And will always love you?
Will you grow to be strong?...

Nochada buena

English translation:
I want to lay my head down
But don’t want to say good night
I want to jump on top my bed
And hug my pillow tight
I like to hide beneath the sheets
And read to all my toys
I want to lay my head down
But don’t want the day to end.
---
I want to lay my head down
But don’t want to say good night
For all the creepy bedbugs
I need to have a fight
To all the mean monsters
I’ll find you in the dark
I want to lay my head down
But don’t want the day to end.
---
There are games I want to play still
And stories still to write
I have songs I want to sing
And thoughts left to pretend
I want to lay my head down
But don’t want the day to end.
---
I’ll miss the stars,
I’ll miss the moon and sun
I’ll miss you, my dear family
I’ll feel you in my heart
I want to lay my head down
I’m ready to say good night
Now I’ll rest my head down
My dreams are ready to start…
