Jugando

Don't play outside the houseNo juegues fuera de casa
You'll dirty your dressQue te ensucias el vestido
With ribbons, bows, and laceDe ornansas, cintas y encaje
Stockings and pretty shoesMedias y zapatos lindos

I've braided your hairHe trenzado tu cabello
You're a lovely little princessEstas linda princesita
Today we're going to visitHoy vamos a visitar
Aunt TeresitaA la tía Teresita

Mom, what I want is to go outMamá yo quiero es salir
To play with my friendsA jugar con mis amigos

One looks with admirationUna mira con arrobo
Playing don't be afraid childrenJugar a no temas niños
In the puddles that formEn los charcos que se forman
After it has rainedDespués de que ha llovido

Strawberries come, strawberries goFresas vienen fresas van
A slip and I go thereUn descuido y voy allá
That with the nonchalanceEso con el desenfado
That early age givesQue da la temprana edad

Mom, what I want is to go outMamá yo quiero es salir
To play with my friendsA jugar con mis amigos

Ribbons and hair dripChorrean cintas y cabellos
Dresses, stockings, shoesVestidos, medias, zapatos
Everything looks clumpedTodo se ve apelmazado
With an orange colorDe color anaranjado

That mud from the puddleEse barro del choco
That I mentioned was editedQue nombro la editorearon
For everyone was the queenPara todos fue la reina
Very happy and that's what mattersMuy feliz y es lo que cuenta

Mom, what I want is to go outMamá yo quiero es salir
To play with my friendsA jugar con mis amigos

The one who soon improvisedAl que pronto improviso
Supposedly it was meSe supone que fui yo
We organized the choirOrganizamos el coro
For the first songDe la primera canción

Now we enter the houseAhora si entramos a casa
Singing in jubilationCantando en algarabía
Just so that the very understanding momSolo para que sonriera
Would smileLa mama tan compresiva

Mom, what I want is to go outMamá yo quiero es salir
To play with my friendsA jugar con mis amigos

Mrs. MayiDoña Mayi
Look at your daughterVea a su hija
See that she's all muddyVea que está empantanada
Like the old ladyComo la vija

What a beauty of a gameHay que es esa belleza de juego
