Había una vez un barquito chiquitito

Lyrics - Spanish

(Cuban folk song)

Había una vez un barquito chiquitico
Había una vez un barquito chiquitico
Había una vez un barquito chiquitico
Que no podía, que no podía, que no podía navegar.

Pasaron una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete semanas,
Pasaron una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete semanas,
Pasaron una, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis, siete semanas,
Y el barquito que no podía, que no podía, que no podía navegar.

Y si esta historia no te parece larga,
Y si esta historia no te parece larga,
Y si esta historia no te parece larga,
La volveremos, la volveremos, la volveremos a empezar.

English Translation – Once upon a time there was a small boat

Once upon a time there was a little boat
Once upon a time there was a little boat
Once upon a time there was a little boat
That could not, that could not, that could not sail.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven weeks went by,
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven weeks went by,
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven weeks went by,
And the little boat that could not, that could not, that could not sail.

And if this story doesn’t seem long to you,
And if this story doesn’t seem long to you,
And if this story doesn’t seem long to you,
We will start it, we will start it, we will start it over again.
