La Patita Y El Tulipán

The Little Duck and the Tulip

La Patita Y El Tulipán

In a lagoon not far from hereEn una laguna no lejos de aquí
Among tulips one day I sawEntre tulipanes un día yo vi
To a little paw singing happy, happyA una patita cantando feliz, feliz

And sing, sing, he said to dadY canta que canta le dijo a papá
You should know that I want to get marriedTú debes saber que me quiero casar
With a tulip that truly wants to love meCon un tulipán que me quiera en verdad amar

Daddy Duck was stunnedQuedó se turulato papá pato
And to the unhappy little duck he said after a whileY a la infeliz patita dijo al rato

Tulips, you know, are tall, tall, tallLos tulipanes, sábelo, son altos, altos, altos
And you are little and you are littleY tú eres pequeñita y tú eres pequeñita

The very friendly duck answered him by singingLa pata muy simpática le contestó cantando
This is how small I love my tulipAsí de pequeñita yo quiero a mi tulipán
This is how small I love my tulipAsí de pequeñita yo quiero a mi tulipán

Tired of hearing her daddy duckCansado de oírla su pato papá
Without further ado, he ordered it to be dried outSin más miramientos mandó a resecar
That lagoon where she could look at the tulipAquella laguna donde ella podía mirar al tulipán

Then the duck started to cryEntonces la pata se puso a llorar
And so much was the crying that without waitingY tanto fue el llanto que sin esperar
Her tears could fill another lagoonSus lágrimas otra laguna pudieron llenar

Daddy Duck was stunnedQuedó se turulato papá pato
And to the unhappy little duck he said after a whileY a la infeliz patita dijo al rato

Tulips, you know, are tall, tall, tallLos tulipanes, sábelo, son altos, altos, altos
And you are little and you are littleY tú eres pequeñita y tú eres pequeñita

But love is magical and you've already convinced mePero el amor es mágico y ya me convenciste
I don't want to see you sad, your tulip is calling youNo quiero verte triste, te llama tu tulipán
I don't want to see you sad, your tulip is calling youNo quiero verte triste, te llama tu tulipán
