Lyrics - Spanish
(Folk song from Spain)
Vamos a remar en un botecito
Rápido, rápido, rápido, rápido
En un botecito.
Vamos a volar en un avioncito
Rápido, rápido, rápido, rápido
En un avioncito.
Vamos a pasear en un cochecito
Rápido, rápido, rápido, rápido
En un cochecito.
English Translation - Let’s go rowing
Let’s go rowing in a little boat,
Rapidly, rapidly, rapidly, rapidly,
In a little boat.
Let’s go flying in a little plane
Rapidly, rapidly, rapidly, rapidly,
In a little plane.
Let’s go driving in a little car
Rapidly, rapidly, rapidly, rapidly,
In a little car.

From where in Spain does this come? Or I guess, do you know any of the history of how the folk song made it to Spain? I’m also interested in researching the additional verses.
Sorry, I don’t know more about this song. Have you tried an internet search?
