Lyrics - Spanish
(Folk song from Peru)
Un pericotito gracioso y chiquito
Asomó su hociquito por un huequecito
Y un gato malvado apenas lo vió
Le tiró un zarpazo y lo atrapó
Le tiró un zarpazo y lo atrapó
Pero el pericotito muy rápido escapó
Se metió a su huequito y allí se quedó
Se metió a su huequito y allí se quedó
English Translation – A Little Rat
A funny little rat
His little snout poked through a little hole
And an evil cat just saw it
He threw a claw at him and caught him
He threw a claw at him and caught him
But the little rat very quickly escaped
He got into his little hole and there he stayed
He got into his little hole and there he stayed
