La Merienda

The Snack

La Merienda

The clock is about to strike sevenLas siete ya van a dar
The child is going to have a snackEl niño va a merendar
The clock is about to chime sevenLas siete van a sonar
And it's a never-ending storyY es cuento de no acabar
Because the child is a crybabyPorque el niño es un llorón
Who always comes out with this songQue siempre sale con esta canción

Oh, momAy, mamá
My tooth hurtsMe duele mi diente
Because they bring the warm milkPorque traen la leche caliente
I don't want to drink it like thatYo así no la quiero tomar
Take it away to coolQue se la lleven a enfriar

The clock is about to strike sevenLas siete ya van a dar
And the child is going to have a snackY el niño va a merendar
The clock is about to chime sevenLas siete van a sonar
And it's a never-ending storyY es cuento de no acabar
Because the child is a crybabyPorque el niño es un llorón
Who always comes out with this songQue siempre sale con esta canción

Oh, momAy, mamá
Look at this MariaMira a esta María
She always brings the milk very coldSiempre trae la leche muy fría
I don't want to drink it like thatYo así no la quiero tomar
Have her warm it up againQue la vuelva a calentar

The clock is about to strike sevenLas siete ya van a dar
And the child is going to have a snackY el niño va a merendar
The clock is about to chime sevenLas siete van a sonar
And it's a never-ending storyY es cuento de no acabar
Because the child is a crybabyPorque el niño es un llorón
Who always comes out with this songQue siempre sale con esta canción

Oh, momAy, mamá
This has creamÉsto tiene nata
This maid is a botherLa sirvienta esta es una lata
I don't want to drink it like thatYo así no la quiero tomar
Have her strain it awayQue se la lleve a colar
