Lyrics - Spanish
(Folk song from Spain)
Soy la reina de los mares
Y tú no lo puedes ser,
Tiro mi pañuelo al suelo
Y lo vuelvo a recoger.
Pañuelito, pañuelito,
Quién te pudiera tener
Guardadito en el bolsillo
como un pliego de papel.
English Translation – I am the queen of the seas
I’m the queen of the seas
And you can’t be
I throw my handkerchief on the ground
And I pick it up again.
Handkerchief, handkerchief,
who could have you
Keep it in your pocket
like a sheet of paper.
Game
This song is a jump rope song. A person drops the handkerchief and picks it up again while jumping.
