The Mamboretá

El Mamboretá

I'm going to tell youLes voy a contar
From a mamboretáDe un mamboretá
Who confidently passed through the door of the anthillQue pasó confiado por la puerta del hormiguero
An ant said: I saw it first!Una hormiga dijo: ¡Yo lo vi primero!
And he took it by the paw to the entranceY de la patita hasta la entrada lo llevó

What a scare the mamboretá hadQué susto se dio el mamboretá
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little pawPreocupado tira, tira, tira de la patita
But at the other end there are so many antsPero en la otra punta hay tantas hormigas
The beautiful Panambí comes to your aidQue vienen en su ayuda la bonita panambí

With the panambí, the mamboretáCon la panambí, el mamboretá
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little pawPreocupado tira, tira, tira de la patita
But at the other end there are so many antsPero en la otra punta hay tantas hormigas
The funny kururú comes to their aidQue vienen en su ayuda el gracioso kururú

With the kukurú, with the panambí, the mamboretáCon el kukurú, con la panambí, el mamboretá
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little pawPreocupado tira, tira, tira de la patita
But at the other end there are so many antsPero en la otra punta hay tantas hormigas
The brave alligator comes to their aidQue vienen en su ayuda el valiente yacaré

With the alligator, with the kukurú, with the panambí, the mamboretáCon el yacaré, con el kukurú, con la panambí, el mamboretá
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little pawPreocupado tira, tira, tira de la patita
But at the other end there are so many antsPero en la otra punta hay tantas hormigas
The calm Ñurumí comes to their aidQue vienen en su ayuda el tranquilo ñurumí

Ñurumí, ÑurumíÑurumí, ñurumí
It wouldn't be the anteater, would it?¿No será el oso hormiguero, no?

With the ñurumí, with the yacaré, with the kukurú, with the panambíCon el ñurumí, con el yacaré, con el kukurú, con la panambí
The mamboretáEl mamboretá
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little pawPreocupado tira, tira, tira de la patita
When the Ñurumí sees that they are antsCuando el ñurumí ve que son hormigas
He licks his lips and says: Mmm, time for breakfastSe relame y dice: Mmm, hora de desayunar
Ah! (Ah! Ah!)¡Ah! (¡Ah! ¡Ah!)

I'm going to tell youLes voy a contar
From a mamboretáDe un mamboretá
Who confidently passed through the door of the anthillQue pasó confiado por la puerta del hormiguero
With the ñurumi as a companionCon el ñurumi como compañero
But the ants did not come outPero las hormigas no salieron
Not even to lookNi a mirar
