Lyrics - Spanish
(Brazilian folk song)
Cangrejito, cangrejito,
Cangrejito de coral
Cangrejito pata chueca que no sabe caminar
Siempre de costado
Viene y va
Siempre de costado
Cangrejito de coral
English Translation - Little Crab
Little crab, little crab
Little crab of the coral
Little crab, crooked leg doesn’t know how to walk
Always sideways
Comes and goes,
Always sideways
Little crab of the coral
