La Gallina Mellicera

The Egg-Laying Hen

La Gallina Mellicera

My scrawny hen, a few days ago laid an eggMi gallina saraviada, hace días puso un huevito
And from the egg two tiny chicks were bornY del huevito nacieron dos pollitos chiquiticos
And from the egg two tiny chicks were bornY del huevito nacieron dos pollitos chiquiticos

They would say peep peep mommy, peep peep peep mamaQue le decian pio pio mamita, pio pio pio mama
They would say peep peep mommy, peep peep peep mamaQue le decian pio pio mamita, pio pio pio mama
Peep peep, cluck, peep, cluck, peep peep, cluckPio pao, pon, pio, pao, pon, pio pao, pon
As the days went by, one chick turned into a henCon el correr de los días, un pollito fue pollita

And the chick's companion completed the little pairY el pollito compañero completo la parejita
And the chick's companion completed the little pairY el pollito compañero completo la parejita
And he would sayY él le decía

Peep peep little sister peep peep peep sisterPio pio hermanita pio pio pio hermana
Peep peep little sister peep peep peep sisterPio pio hermanita pio pio pio hermana
Peep peep cluck, peep peep cluck, peep peep cluck, peep peep cluckPio pao pon, pio pao pon, pio pao pon, pio pao pon
The pair grew up, and one day from my balconyLa pareja fue creciendo, y un día desde mi balcón

I saw the hen turned into a rooster and the chick a flyerVi a la pollita hecha polla y el pollito un volantón

The rooster became a hen when she started laying eggsLa polla se hizo gallina, cuando comenzó a poner
And the flyer is the rooster that crows at dawnY el volantón es el gallo que canta al amanecer
