The Piñata

La Piñata

Everyone wants to knock it downTodos la quieren tumbar
Many fall on top of itMuchos le caen encima
To grab the sweetsPa' coger las golosinas
That it can offer themQue ella les pueda brindar

They hung the piñataYa guindaron la piñata
There's a party and excitementHay fiesta y algarabía
All the kidsToda la chiquillería
Look for a way to knock it downBusca el modo de tumbarla
While going up and downMientras se sube y se baja
Pulling on the ropeSe jala por la cabulla
And in the midst of so much noiseY en medio de tanta bulla
It sways that waySe bambolea pa'llá

Hit it with the stick, up and downDale con el palo, arriba y abajo
Hit that piñata hardDale duro a esa piñata
That looks like a catQue tiene forma de gata

Hit it with the stick, up and downDale con el palo, arriba y abajo
Let them hit it, let them hit it, as it isQue le den, que le den, como es
Let them hit it, let them hit it, againQue le den, que le den, otra vez
