Our Spanish folk song for this term




Spanish Version
(scroll down to see lyrics in English)


 De colores, de colores

Se visten los campos en la primavera.

De colores, de colores

Son los pajarillos que vienen de afuera.

De colores, de colores

Es el arco iris que vemos lucir.



Y por eso los grandes amores

De muchos colores me gustan a mí.

Y por eso los grandes amores

De muchos colores me gustan a mí.



De colores, de colores

Brillantes y finos se viste la aurora.

De colores, de colores

Son los mil reflejos que el sol atesora.

De colores, de colores

Se viste el diamante que vemos lucir.



Y por eso los grandes amores

De muchos colores me gustan a mí.

Y por eso los grandes amores

De muchos colores me gustan a mí.



Canta el gallo, canta el gallo

Con el quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri.

La gallina, la gallina

Con el cara, cara, cara, cara, cara.

Los pollitos/polluelos, los pollitos/polluelos

Con el pío, pío, pío, pío, pí.



Y por eso los grandes amores

De muchos colores me gustan a mí.

Y por eso los grandes amores

De muchos colores me gustan a mí.



Jubilosos, jubilosos

Vivamos en gracia puesto que se puede.

Saciaremos, saciaremos

La sed ardorosa del Rey que no muere.

Jubilosos, jubilosos

Llevemos a Cristo un alma y mil más.



Difundiendo la luz que ilumina

La gracia divina del gran ideal.

Difundiendo la luz que ilumina

La gracia divina del gran ideal.



English Version

In colors, in colors

The fields are dressed in the spring.

In colors, in colors

Are the little birds that come from outside.

In colors, in colors

Is the rainbow that we see shining.



And that is why I love

The great loves of many colors

And that is why I love

The great loves of many colors.



In colors, in colors

Brilliant and delicate is dressed the dawn.

In colors, in colors

Are the thousand gleams the sun treasures.

In colors, in colors

Is dressed the diamond we see shining.



And that is why I love

The great loves of many colors.

And that is why I love

The great loves of many colors.



The rooster sings, the rooster sings

With a cock-a-doodle, cock-a-doodle-doo.

The hen, the hen

With a cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck.

The chicks, the chicks

With a cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep.



And that is why I love

The great loves of many colors.

And that is why I love

The great loves of many colors.



Joyous, joyous

Let us live in grace since we can.

Let us quench, let us quench

The burning thirst of the King who does not die.

Joyous, joyous

Let us bring to Christ a soul and thousand more.



Spreading the light that illuminates

The divine grace from the great ideal.

Spreading the light that illuminates

The divine grace from the great ideal.
