The Rooster Wake Up
Kikiriki,
I'm here,
the rooster said
Hummingbird
The hummingbird rooster
he was redhead,
it was his suit
of beautiful plumage.
kikiriki
Get up peasant
that the sun is already there
on the way.
kikiriki
Get up farmer
wake up with joy,
that come the day
kikiriki
Village children
wake up with the ole,
that await you in the “cole”.
The town doesn't need a watch
the rooster is worth the alarm.

The rats
The mice gathered
to get rid of the cat;
and after a long time
of disputes and opinions,
they said they would hit
to put a bell on it,
that walking the cat with him,
they could better get rid of.
A barbican mouse came out,
long-tailed, hociquirromo
and curling the thick back,
said to the Roman Senate,
after speaking worship for a while:
Who of all has to be
the one who dares to put
that bell to the cat?
Lope de Vega
The cricket and the moon
a cricket sang
cri cri very happy,
looking at the moon
in the firmament.
cri cri sang to him
"you are the prettiest"
and the moon laughed
next to the stars
cri cri sang to him
"you are so Beautiful"
and the moon was shining
believing herself a goddess

how to draw a child
To draw a child you have to do it with love.
Paint her a lot of bangs,
-that he is eating a waffle;
many freckles on the face that show that he is a rascal;
– rascal rhymes with bangs and means naughty -.
Let's continue the drawing: round cheese face.
Since he is a fashionable child, he drinks syrup with soda.
He is wearing jeans with a beautiful hole;
American t-shirt and a corduroy beanie.
Footballer's boots - because shooting is an artist -.
He's always laughing because he's very intelligent.
Under his arm a story that's why he's so happy.
To draw a child you have to do it with love.

The lizard is crying
The lizard is crying.
The lizard is crying.
The lizard and the lizard
with white aprons.
have accidentally lost
their wedding ring.
Oh, your little lead ring,
oh, his little lead ring!
A big sky and no people
He rides the birds in his balloon.
The sun, round captain,
He wears a satin vest.
Look how old they are!
How old are the lizards!
Oh, how they cry and cry,
ow!, ow! how are they crying!
Federico Garcia Lorca
The square has a tower
The square has a tower,
the tower has a balcony,
the balcony has a lady,
the lady a white flower.
a gentleman has passed
Who knows why it happened!
and has taken the square,
with its tower and its balcony,
with his balcony and his lady
his lady and her white flower.
for your window
a bouquet of roses gave me the morning.
Through a labyrinth, from street to alley,
looking, I have run, your house and your fence.
And in a maze I find myself lost
On this flowery May morning.

the five vowels
With jumps and jumps
arm in arm five
very informal
the vowels come
Do you know them?:
a e i o u.
Ah, it screams that it screams,
gets angry and irritated
And he goes to the theater.
There are only four left.
E, flame that calls,
He goes to bed
With foot pain
There are only three left.
I, squeal that squeal,
gets on a chair
because he sees a mouse
There are only two left.
Oh, wheel that rolls
Every man for himself
Rolling it vanishes.
There is only one left.
Wow, very scared
looks abandoned
And he goes to the moon.
There are none left.
Do you remember them?:

a number parade
with this parade
we're done now
marching, fast,
the numbers go.
First goes the One,
what is the general
because of the numbers
is the boss
Two is a corporal
and the Three, captain.
The Four and the Five
they parade behind.
The Six with the Seven
they don't stop talking.
The Eight is lame
and can't walk.
Nine tells them:
– More formality!
And Zero, angry,
rolling it goes

the upside down kingdom
They told me that in the Reverse Kingdom
The bird swims and the fish flies
That cats don't meow and say yes
Because they study a lot of English
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
They told me that in the upside down kingdom
Nobody dances with their feet
That a thief is a watchman and another is a judge
And that two and two are three
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
They told me that in the upside down kingdom
There's a bear in a nut
What do babies wear beards and mustaches?
And that a year lasts a month
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
They told me that in the upside down kingdom
There is a Pekingese dog
That falls up and once
Couldn't get off after
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
They told me that in the upside down kingdom
A man named Andrew
It has 1.530 chimpanzees
That if you look you don't see them
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
They told me that in the upside down kingdom
A spider and a centipede
They go mounted to the palace of the Marquis
in chess knights
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom
let's see how it is
The Reverse Kingdom

bathe in the moon
The Moon is already coming down in a nightgown
to bathe in a puddle with soap.
Now the moon slides down
fluttering its saffron parasol.
Whoever catches it with a bamboo rod,
he takes it to Siu Kiu.
Now the moon comes in a palanquin
to steal a chrysanthemum from the garden
The moon is coming over there
her kimono says no, no and she does.
Whoever catches it with a bamboo rod,
he takes it to Siu Kiu.
The moon is already low very happy
to powder the nose with sugar
Already the moon on tiptoe
in a china cup drink tea
Whoever catches it with a bamboo rod,
he takes it to Siu Kiu.
The moon already came and gave him a cough
for eating rice with two sticks
The moon is already coming down from there
and for the little puddle-little he will swim
Whoever catches it with a bamboo rod,
takes it to Siu Kiu
Maria Elena Walsh
The Ant and the Grasshopper
Singing the cicada
spent the whole summer
without making provisions
there for the winter;
the cold forced her
to keep the silence
and to take shelter
of his narrow chamber.
I was deprived
of precious sustenance:
no fly, no worm,
no wheat and no rye.
The ant dwelt
there partition in the middle,
and with a thousand expressions
of attention and respect
He said to her: «Doña ant,
Well, in your barn
supplies are left over
for your food,
lend something
with what live this winter
this sad cicada,
that, happy in another time,
never knew the damage,
he never knew how to fear it.
Do not hesitate to lend me,
that I faithfully promise
pay you with profit,
by the name that I have.
The greedy ant
he answered boldly,
hiding behind the back
the keys to the barn:
«I lend what I earn
with a huge job!
Tell me then, lazy girl,
What have you done in good weather? ».
"I," said the cicada,
«To all passengers
he sang happily,
without ceasing for a moment.
"Hello! What did you sing with
when I was rowing?
Well now that I eat
dance, despite your body.
Felix Maria de Samaniego.
