Little Dancer

Negrito Bailarín

If you suspect what I bring hereSi sospechas que traigo aquí
It will all be for youSerá todo para ti
It's not sweet, it's not fruitDulce no es, fruta no es
It's not snow eitherNieve tampoco es
If you tell me what it will beSi me dices lo que será
It will belong to youTe pertenecerá
Think slowlyPiensa despacito
To guessPara adivinar

Open the boxAbre la caja
It's a toyEs un juguete
Made of tinDe hoja de lata
For youPara ti

A little dancer¡Un negrito bailarín
With a cane and a top hatDe bastón y con bombín
With a carnation in the buttonholeCon clavel en el ojal
But misbehaves!Pero que se porta mal!

Hey friend, I bought it¡Hey amigo, lo compré
To see you dancePara ve' bailar a uste'
Lazy, move your feet!Perezoso mueva los pies!

Wind it up and you'll seeDale cuerda y ya verás
How it remembers and can danceComo se acuerda y puede bailar

Little dark one, let's see¡Morenito, vamo a ve'
If you finally get excitedSi por fin se anima uste'
And dance some tap!Y no' baila algo de tap!
