Marcha de los Grillos

March of the Crickets

Marcha de los Grillos

A distant rumor is the signalUn rumor lejano es la señal
That the battalion is approachingDe que se acerca el batallón
Of the little cricketsDe los grillitos

Among a thousand drums and violinsEntre mil tambores y violines
The general stands outSe destaca el general
With two little hornsCon dos cuernitos

Singing, singing all night longCantar, cantar la noche entera
Singing is their whole flagCantar es toda su bandera

Listen to how the crickets marchOye cómo marchan los grillitos
To the rhythm of the songAl compás de la canción
Of the battalionDel batallón

Here come the little cricketsVienen los grillitos chiquitines
Squeaking with pleasureRechinando de placer
That invades themQue los invade

Marching, holding theirMarchan empuñando sus
ViolinsViolines
Without feeling any fearSin sentir ningún temor
Of darknessDe oscuridades

Singing, singing all night longCantar, cantar la noche entera
Singing is their whole flagCantar es toda su bandera

Listen to how the crickets marchOye cómo marchan los grillitos
To the rhythm of the songAl compás de la canción
Of the battalionDel batallón
