Lyrics - Spanish
(Mexican folk song)
En el agua clara que brota en la fuente
Un lindo pescado salta de repente
Lindo pescadito, ¿no quieres salir
A jugar conmigo? ¡Vamos al jardín!
Yo vivo en el agua, no puedo salir.
Porque si me salgo me puedo morir
Lindo pescadito, ¿no quieres salir
A jugar conmigo? ¡Vamos al jardín!
Yo vivo en el agua, no puedo salir.
Mi mamá me ha dicho, “no salgas de aquí.”
Lindo pescadito, yo te debo amar,
Porque a tu mamita sabes respetar.
English Translation - Pretty little fish
In the clear water that springs from the fountain
A pretty fish suddenly jumps
Pretty little fish, don’t you want to go out
To play with me? Let’s go to the garden!
I live in the water, I can’t get out.
Because if I leave I can die
Pretty little fish, don’t you want to go out
To play with me? Let’s go to the garden!
I live in the water, I can’t get out.
My mom has told me, “don’t leave here.”
Pretty little fish, I must love you,
Because you know how to respect your mommy.
