Vinagrito

Little Vinegar is a little catVinagrito es un gatico
That looks like cotton.Que parece de algodón.
He's a clean cat,Es un gato limpiecito,
Licked and playful.Relamido y juguetón.
He likes sardinesLe gustan las sardinas
And is friends with the mouse,Y es amigo del ratón,
He's a very sociable cat,Es un gato muy sociable,
My cotton little cat.Mi gatico de algodón.

I named him Little Vinegar,Yo le puse vinagrito,
Because he was ugly and skinny,Por estar feo y flaquito,
But I took care of him so muchPero tanto lo cuidé
That he looks like Little Vinegar,Que parece vinagrito,
A paper cat,Un gatico de papel,
Meow, meow, meow, meow,Miau, miau, miau, miau,
With a bell.Con cascabel.

He was in a cartonEstaba en un cartucho
When I picked him up,Cuando yo lo recogí,
Tiny and starving,Chiquitico y muerto de hambre,
Thrown away.Botado por ahí.
I gave him a bowl of milkLe di un plato de leche
And he was so happyY se puso tan feliz
That he dipped his whiskers,Que metía los bigotes,
Paws, and nose.Las patas y la nariz..

He doesn't go to the roofNo se va para el tejado
Because he doesn't know how to climb.Porque no sabe subir.
Sitting on the windowSentado en la ventana
He watches the moon rise.Mira la luna salir.
The moon is a cheeseLa luna es un queso
Dipped in a sea of indigoMetida en un mar de añil
And my cat wondersY mi gato se pregunta
If there are sardines there.Si habrá sardinas allí.
