Lyrics - Spanish
(American folk song, New Mexico)
Este es el juego de Juan Pirulero
Qué cada quien atiende a su juego.
Juan Pirulero les manda y ordena,
Que su instrumento cada quien toque.
English Translation
This is the game of one Juan Pirulero (“Pee-roo-leh-roh”)
Let all the players attend to the game.
Juan Pirulero sends them and orders,
Let each person play his instrument.
Game
Students stand in a circle with one student in the middle. The student in the middle does a motion (acting out playing an instrument), and the other students copy the motion.
