Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Patita by Cri-Cri from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
De canasta y con rebozo de bolita
From a basket and with a ball shawl
Va al mercado
Goes to the market
A comprar todas las cosas del mandado
To buy all the things of the errand
Se va meneando al caminar
It wiggles when it walks
Como los barcos en alta mar
Like ships on the high seas
Va corriendo why buscando en su bolsita
He runs and looks in his bag
Centavitos para darles de comer a sus patitos
Centavitos to feed your ducklings
Porque ya sabe que al retornar
Because you already know that when you return
Toditos ellos preguntarán
All of them will ask
¿Qué me trajiste mamá? Cua cua
What did you bring me mom? Quack quack
¿Qué me trajiste? Cuara cua cua
What did you bring me? Quara cua cua
La patita, como tú
The little paw, like you
De canasta y con reboso de bolita, como tú
From a basket and with a ball overflow, like you
Se ha enojado, como tú
He got angry, like you
Por lo caro que está todo en el mercado
Because everything on the market is so expensive
Como no tiene para comprar
Since you don't have anything to buy
Se pasa el día en regatear
He spends the day haggling
Van creciendo y no tienen zapatitos
They are growing and they don't have shoes
Y su esposo
and her husband
Es un pato sin vergüenza y perezoso
He is a shameless and lazy duck
Que no da nada para comer
That doesn't give anything to eat
Y la patita pues qué va hacer
And the little paw, well, what is she going to do?
Cuando le pidan contestará
When asked he will answer
¡Coman mosquitos! Cuara cua cua
Eat mosquitoes! Quara cua cua
