Lyrics - Spanish

(Mexican folk song)

1. Estaba la rana sentada cantando debajo del agua
Cuando la rana salió a cantar, vino la mosca y la hizo callar

2. La mosca a la rana que estaba cantando debajo del agua
Cuando la mosca salió a cantar, vino la araña y la hizo callar

3. La araña a la mosca la mosca a la rana…
Cuando la araña salió a cantar, vino el ratón y la hizo callar
