Lyrics - Spanish
(Mexican folk song)
Los pollitos dicen, pío, pío, pío,
cuando tienen hambre, cuando tienen frío.
La gallina busca el maíz y el trigo,
les dá la comida, y les presta abrigo.
Bajo sus dos alas, acurrucaditos,
duermen los pollitos, hasta el otro día.
English Translation - The chicks
The chicks say, tweet, tweet, tweet,
when they are hungry, when they are cold.
The hen looks for corn and wheat,
gives them food and gives them shelter.
Under her two wings, huddled,
sleep the chicks until the next day
