EL BARCO CHIQUITO
(The Little Boat)

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

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
