His cockle doodle-do.
The sun didn't rise (Put hands above head in a circle)
Because he didn’t hear (Cup hands over ears)
The rooster’s cockle doodle doo.
El Jacarandá
(Traditional song from Argentina. The jacarandá is a tree that is filled with bright blue
flowers when in bloom. In the song below, each verse is sung twice as noted by the
Spanish notation “Bis”.)
Al Este y al Oeste llueve y lloverá
una flor y otra flor silvestre
del Jacarandá (Bis)
Se rién las ardillitas:
“Ja jara ja ja”
porque el viento le hace cosquillas
al Jacarandá (Bis)
La bruja está en la cueva
pero ya saldrá
para oir que bonito suena
el Jacarandá (Bis)
The Jacaranda Tree
(English translation by Paola Ferate-Soto.)
To the east and to the west it will rain
One wild flower and another
From the Jacaranda. (repeat)
The little squirrels laugh:
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha”
Because the wind is tickling
The Jacaranda. (repeat)
The witch is in her cave
But soon she will come out
To hear the beautiful sounds
From the Jacaranda. (repeat)
