CASCARONES (Eggshells)

Making cascarones is an exciting and colorful Mexican tradition at Easter. Eggshells are emptied, filled with confetti, and covered with tissue paper. But that’s just where the fun starts. Once ready, kids can break the shells on their playmates, showering them with confetti. This Spanish song for kids – CASCARONES – teaches how cascarones are made and words associated with this great cultural tradition. The song, performed by Jorge Anaya, is from Whistlefritz’s CD ¡BUENOS DÍAS!

Song “CASCARONES” from the Whistlefritz CD ¡BUENOS DÍAS!

CASCARONES
(Eggshells)

EMPIEZA POR VACIAR UNOS HUEVOS
HACIENDO EN LA PUNTA UNOS HOYOS
SE SECAN PARA LUEGO PINTARLOS
Y DE CONFETI LLENARLOS

LE TAPAS EL HOYITO AL HUEVO
CON UN PAPEL DE SEDA PEGADO
LO PINTAS DE COLORES BONITOS
YA LISTO BUSCAS TUS AMIGUITOS

¡UNO, DOS, TRES, CASCARONES!
¡UNO, DOS, TRES, CASCARONES!
¡UNO, DOS, TRES, CASCARONES!

LOS CASCARONES DE FIESTA
SE ROMPEN EN LA CABEZA
TE TRAERÁ BUENA SUERTE
Y ASÍ PODRÁS DIVERTIRTE

FELICES FIESTAS A TODOS
CASCARONES REVENTADOS
QUE LAS PASEN DIVERTIDOS
CON SU FAMILIA Y AMIGOS

¡UNO, DOS, TRES, CASCARONES!
¡UNO, DOS, TRES, CASCARONES!
¡UNO, DOS, TRES, CASCARONES!

Start by emptying some eggs
Making holes at the top of the eggs
They dry, then later paint them
And fill them with confetti

Cover the little hole in the egg
With glued tissue paper
Paint it pretty colors
When ready, go look for your friends

One, two, three, eggshells!
One, two, three, eggshells!
One, two, three, eggshells!

The eggshells for the party
Are broken on the head
It will bring you good luck
And that’s the way you’ll have fun

Happy holidays to all
Broken eggshells
Have fun
With your family and friends

One, two, three, eggshells!
One, two, three, eggshells!
One, two, three, eggshells!
