Sail Away With Books!
Velerito Blanco
(By Paola Ferate-Soto. You may sing this to the tune of “Caballito Blanco” on Lírica
infantil vol. 1 by José-Luis Orozco.)
Velerito blanco, sácame de aquí
llévame a ese puerto, donde yo nací
Tengo, tengo, tengo…
¡Tú no tienes nada!
Tengo tres redes,
sobre el mar oleado.
Una me trae peces,
la segunda casi nada
la tercera me trae conchas,
con perlas plateadas.
Little White Sailboat
(English translation by Paola Ferate-Soto.)
Little white sailboat, take me away from here
Take me to the port, where I was born.
I have, I have, I have…
No, you don’t have anything!
Yes, I have three nets,
Over the wavy sea.
One brings me fish,
Second one almost nothing,
But the third one brings me shells
Filled with silver pearls.
