Lyrics
Tortuga concha ven a cantar,
No tengo manos, no tengo pies.
Tortuga concha ven a leer,
No tengo manos, no tengo pies.
Tortuga concha ven a bailar,
No tengo manos, no tengo pies.
Tortuga concha ven a escribir,
No tengo manos, no tengo pies.
Tortuga concha ven a limpiar,
No tengo manos, no tengo pies.
Tortuga concha ven a comer,
Sí tengo manos, sí tengo pies.
Translation – Turtle Shell*
Turtle shell come sing,
I don’t have hands, I don’t have feet.
Turtle shell come read,
I don’t have hands, I don’t have feet.
Turtle shell come dance,
I don’t have hands, I don’t have feet.
Turtle shell come write,
I don’t have hands, I don’t have feet.
Turtle shell come and clean,
I don’t have hands, I don’t have feet.
Turtle shell come eat,
Yes I have hands, yes I have feet.
*concha means “shell” or a sweet bread or is a nickname for Concepción, a girl’s name
