Lyrics - Spanish
(Mexican folk song)
Un elefante se balanceaba
Sobre la tela de una araña,
Como veía que resistía
Fue a llamar a otro elefante.
Dos elefantes se balanceaban,
sobre la tela de una araña,
como veían que resistía
fueron a llamar a otro elefante.
Tres elefantes…

On a spider web
How they saw that it resisted (their weight)
They went to call another elephant
Three elephants…
