EL BARCO CHIQUITO (The Little Boat)

Have you ever heard of a boat too tiny to sail? That’s the case in this catchy, traditional Spanish children’s song. The song teaches children to count in Spanish as 1, 2, 3, ….7 weeks go by and still the tiny boat can’t sail. The song, performed by Jorge Anaya, is from Whistlefritz’s CD CHA, CHA, CHA – Spanish Learning Songs.

Song “EL BARCO CHIQUITO” from the Whistlefritz CD CHA, CHA, CHA.

Había una vez un barco chiquito
Había una vez un barco chiquito
Había una vez un barco chiquito
Tan chiquito, tan chaquito, que no
podía navegar

 

Passaron una, dos, tres, cuatro
Cinco, seis, siete semanas
Passaron una, dos, tres, cuatro
Cinco, seis, siete semanas

 

Passaron una, dos, tres, cuatro
Cinco, seis, siete semanas
Y los viveres y los viveres empezaron
a escasaer

 

Y si la historia no les parece larga
Y si la historia no les parece larga
Y si la historia no les parece larga
Volveremos, volveremos, volveremos
a empezar

 

Había una vez un barco chiquito
Había una vez un barco chiquito
Había una vez un barco chiquito
Tan chiquito, tan chaquito, que no
podía navegar

 

Passaron una, dos, tres, cuatro
Cinco, seis, siete semanas
Passaron una, dos, tres, cuatro
Cinco, seis, siete semanas

 

Passaron una, dos, tres, cuatro
Cinco, seis, siete semanas
Y los viveres y los viveres empezaron
a escasaer

 

Y si la historia no les parece larga
Y si la historia no les parece larga
Y si la historia no les parece larga
Volveremos, volveremos, volveremos
a empezar

Once up on a time, there was a little boat
Once up on a time, there was a little boat
Once up on a time, there was a little boat
So little, so little that it couldn’t sail

 

One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven weeks passed
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven weeks passed

 

One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven weeks passed
And the supplies and the supplies were beginning
to run low

 

And if this story doesn’t seem long enough to you
And if this story doesn’t seem long enough to you
And if this story doesn’t seem long enough to you
We’ll go back, we’ll go back, we’ll go back and begin again

 

Once up on a time, there was a little boat
Once up on a time, there was a little boat
Once up on a time, there was a little boat
So little, so little that it couldn’t sail

 

One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven weeks passed
One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven weeks passed

 

One, two, three, four
Five, six, seven weeks passed
And the supplies and the supplies were beginning
to run low

 

And if this story doesn’t seem long enough to you
And if this story doesn’t seem long enough to you
And if this story doesn’t seem long enough to you
We’ll go back, we’ll go back, we’ll go back and begin again
