Lyrics

Vamos a la mar, tum, tum.
A comer pescado, tum, tum.
Boca colorada, tum, tum.
Fritito y asado, tum, tum.

Vamos a la mar, tum, tum.
A comer pescado, tum, tum.
Fritito y asado, tum, tum,
En sarten de palo, tum, tum.

Translation

Let’s go to the sea, tum, tum.
To eat fish, tum, tum.
Colored (red) mouth, tum, tum.
Fried and roasted, tum, tum.

Let’s go to the sea, tum, tum.
To eat fish, tum, tum.
Fried and roasted, tum, tum.
In a wooden pan, tum, tum.

Optional Version

Let’s go to the sea, tum, tum.
Let’s go to the tide, tum, tum.
Eat some yummy fish, tum, tum.
Roasted or fried, tum, tum.

Let’s go to the ocean, tum, tum.
Let’s go get some sun, tum, tum.
Swim and jump the waves, tum, tum.
Let’s go have some fun, tum, tum!
