By Sarah J. Hale
Mary had a little lamb, a little lamb, a little lamb,
Mary had a little lamb; its fleece was white as snow
and everywhere that Mary went, that Mary went, that Mary went,
everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day, school one day, school one day,
It followed her to school one day, which was against the rule.
It made the children laugh and play, laugh and play, laugh and play.
It made the children laugh and play, to see the lamb at school.
And so the teacher sent it out, sent it out, sent it out.
And so the teacher sent it out, but still it lingered near.
It stood and waited round about, round about, round about.
It stood and waited round about, till Mary did appear.
Why does the lamb love Mary so, Mary so, Mary so?
Why does the lamb love Mary so? the little children cry.
Why, Mary loves the lamb you know; lamb you know; lamb you know;
Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know! the teacher did reply.

Mara tena una ovejita
Por Sarah J. Hale
Mara tena una ovejita, una ovejita, una ovejita
Mara tena una ovejita blanquita como la nievecita
y donde quiera que Mara iba, que Mara iba, que Mara iba,
la ovejita la segua, la segua, la segua.
La sigui un da al colegio, al colegio, al colegio,
la sigui un da al colegio, lo que no estaba permitido.
Hizo que los nios rieran y jugaran, rieran y jugaran, rieran y jugaran,
hizo que los nios rieran y jugaran de ver una ovejita en la clase.
As que la maestra la sac, la sac, la sac,
la maestra la sac, pero ella muy cerca se qued.
All se detuvo y muy cerca esper, muy cerca de all, cerca de all,
se detuvo y esper hasta que Mara apareci.
Por qu la ovejita quiere tanto a Mara, tanto a Mara, tanto a Mara?
Por qu la ovejita quiere tanto a Mara? los chiquillos preguntaron.
Porque Mara quiere a la ovejita, ustedes lo saben, ustedes lo saben;
Mara quiere a la ovejita! la profesora respondi.

Lets dance with the music (bis)

when we dance we sing a song
we sing a song of thanks, a song of thanks
and clap our hands and we go, and we go, and here we go.

Faster and faster, higher higher louder louder.

Bamba bamba, bamba bamba, bamba bamba
AAAAh, AAAAH, AAAAH, AAAAH!

La Bamba

Para bailar la bamba, para bailar la bamba

se necesita una poca de gracia
una poca de gracia, y otra cosita ay, arriba y arriba.

Y arriba arriba, arriba ir, por ti ser, por ti ser

bamba bamba, bamba bamba, bamba bamba, bamba bamba,
para bailar la bamba, para bailar la bamba

Softer softer bamba, bamba bamba!

London Bridge is falling down,
falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady!
Build it up with iron bars,
iron bars, iron bars.
Build it up with iron bars, my fair lady!
Iron bars will bend and break,
bend and break, bend and break.
Iron bars will bend and break, my fair lady!
Build it up with silver and gold,
silver and gold, silver and gold,
Build it up with silver and gold, my fair lady!
Silver and gold are much too dear,
much too dear, much too dear.
Silver and gold are much too dear,
my fair lady!
Build it up with sticks and stones,
sticks and stones, sticks and stones.
Build it up with sticks and stones,

Sticks and stones will wash away,

Sticks and stones will wash away, my fair lady!
London Bridge is falling down,

In a cavern, in a canyon,
excavating for a mine,
lived a miner, Forty-Niner,
and his daughter, Clementine.
Chorus:
Oh! my darling; oh! my darling,
Oh! my darling Clementine!
You are lost and gone forever.
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Light she has like a fally,
and her shoes were number nine.
Herring boxes without topses
sandals were for Clementine.
(Chorus)
Drove she ducklings to the millpond,
every morning just at nine;
strubbed her toe upon a splinter,
fell into the foaming brine.
(Chorus)
Ruby lips above the water
blowing bubbles soft and fine.
170
Clementina
En una cueva de un can,
excavando para una mina,
vivan un minero cincuentn
y su hija, Clementina.
Coro:
Mi querida, mi querida,
Oh, mi querida Clementina!
ya te has ido para siempre.
Oh, qu pena, Clementina!
Era bella como un hada,
sus zapatones nmero 40,
cajas de bocadillos con trabillas,
sandalias fueron para Clementina.
(Coro)
Llevaba a sus patos a la fuente del molino,
como todas las maanas a las nueve en punto,
tropez con una astilla,
cayendo en la espumosa agua salada.
(Coro)
Labios rojos sobre el agua,
flotantes burbujas suaves y leves,
Santo Dios, ella no nadaba!
Y perd a mi Clementina!
(Coro)
Y el minero, cincuentn,
empez a languidecer;
crey que deba ir con su hija,
y ahora est con Clementina.
(Coro)
Cmo extra, cmo extra,
cmo extra a Clementina,
hasta cuando bes a su hermanita,
But alas, she was no swimmer, olvid a mi Clementina!
and I lost my Clementine! (Coro)
(Chorus)
And the miner, Forty-Niner,
he began to peak and pine;
thought he oughter join his daughter-
now hes with his Clementine.
(Chorus)
How I missed her, how I missed her,
how I missed my Clementine
till I kissed her little sister,
and forgot my Clementine!

Father and I went down to camp
a long with captain Good in
and there we saw the men and boys
as thick as hasty puddin.
(Chorus)
Yankee doodle, keep it up,
Yankee doodle dandy;
Mind the music and the step,
And with the girls be handy.
Yankee doodle went to town,
a riding on a pony,
He stuck a feather in his cap
and called it macaroni.
There was captain Washington
up on a slapping stallion,
a giveing orders to his men;
I guess there were a million.
There I saw a swamping gun,
large as a long of maple,
up on a mightlittle cart;
a load for Fathers cattle.
Evry time they fired it off,
it took a horn of powder;
it made a noise like Fathers gun
only a nation louder.

Yanqui Buenavida
Mi padre y yo fuimos al campo de batalla
junto con el capitn Good,
y ah vimos atentos hombres viejos y jvenes
tan densos como el resbaloso pudn.
(Coro)
Marcha al paso de la banda,
yanqui Buenavida
sigue la msica y el paso,
y con las chicas s prctico.
Y el yanqui Buenavida, fue a la ciudad,
al galope en un pony,
l coloc una pluma en su quepis
y lo ha llamado macarroni.
(Coro)
Marcha al paso de la banda,
yanqui Buenavida
sigue la msica y el paso,
y con las chicas s prctico.
Haba un capitn Washington
arriba de un fogoso caballo,
dando rdenes a sus hombres,
que eran como un milln.
(Coro)
Marcha al paso de la banda,
yanqui Buenavida
sigue la msica y el paso,
y con las chicas s prctico.
All o un gran fusil ahogado,
tan largo como un tronco de arce
sobre una poderosa carreta;
una gran carga para los bueyes de mi padre.
(Coro)
Marcha al paso de la banda,
yanqui Buenavida
sigue la msica y el paso,
y con las chicas s prctico.
Cada vez que lo disparaban,
gastaban un cuerno de plvora
y haca un ruido tal como el fusil de mi padre
tan fuerte como una nacin.

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,

O er the field we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on Bobtail ring, making spirits bright,
what fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!
Chorus:
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh! what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Oh! what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh!
A day or two ago, I thought Id take a ride,
and soon Miss Fannie Bright was sitting by my side.
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune was his lot.
He got into a snowdrift bank-and we? We got upsot!
(Chorus)
So now the mon is bright, enjoy it while youre young.
Invite your friends tonight to sing this sleighing song.
Just get a bob-tailed nag give him extra feed.
en sleigh-and crack! Youll take the lead!

Suenen campanitas
Nos deslizamos sobre la nieve, en un trineo de caballo,
Vamos a travs del campo, riendo todo el camino.
Las campanas van colgando y nos alegran el espritu,
Qu alegra cantar y gozar en trineo esta noche!
Coro
Suenen campanitas, suenen campanitas, suenen todo el camino.
Oh! Qu alegra es montar en trineo de caballo!
Suenen campanitas, suenen campanitas, suenen todo el camino.
Oh! Qu alegra es montar en trineo esta noche!
Hace un da o dos, pens que dara un paseo,
y que la seorita Fannie Bright se sentara a mi lado.
El caballo era alto y esbelto y el infortunio su signo,
pues se atasc en un banco de nieve para nuestro pesar.

Coro
Ahora brilla la luna, disfrtala con tu juventud,
invita a los amigos esta noche a cantar y pasear en un trineo.
Consigue un caballo robusto y dale comida extra,
engnchalo a un trineo y disprate, volars por los cielos!

Theres not a rose whereer

I seek as comely as my babys cheek.
Theres not a comb of honey-bee,
so full of sweets as baby to me.
And its O! sweet, sweet! and a lullaby.

Theres not a star that shines on high,

as brighter than my babys eyes.
Theres not a boat upon the sea,
can dance as baby does to me.
And its O! sweet, sweet! and a lullaby.

No silk was ever spun so fine

as is the hair of baby mine.
My baby smells more sweet to me
than smells in spring the elder tree.
And its O! sweet, sweet! and a lullaby.

Canto a mi beb

No hay una rosa comparable

a la tersura de las mejillas de mi beb.
No hay panal de miel,
con tantas dulzuras como mi beb.
Oh! Mi dulce, dulce cancin de cuna.
No hay estrella en lo alto que brille
tanto como los ojos de mi beb.
No hay barco sobre el mar,
que se meza como lo hace mi beb.
Oh! Mi dulce, dulce cancin de cuna.
La seda nunca fue tan fina
como los cabellos de mi beb,
Mi bebito de aroma ms dulce
que la ms fragante flor de primavera.
Oh! Mi dulce, dulce cancin de cuna.
