Lyrics - Spanish
(Mexican folk song)
Andale niño no pierdas el tino
Que de la distancia se pierde el camino
Con los ojos bien vendados
En las manos un bastión
Ya se rompe la piñata sin tenerle compasión.
Dale dale dale, no pierdas el tino
Que de la distancia se pierde el camino
English Translation
Go, child, don’t miss your aim
Because of the distance you lose your way
With your eyes well blindfolded
In your hands a bastion (fortification)
Now you break the piñata without having compassion.
Give it, give it, give it, don’t lose your aim
Because of the distance you lose your way
Dale, Dale, Dale (Often just this refrain is sung)

Hello! I was about to play this song and like 10 kindergartners already knew it and stared to sing the refrain and telling me about singing it on their birthdays, so cute!
That’s fun!
