Four-year-old Liseth of Bogota, Colombia, loves learning songs and rhymes. In this video, she recites a few rhymes popular in Latin America, similar to “Hey, Diddle, Diddle” in English. The translations of her rhymes are below. Read more about Liseth.
| Arroz con Leche (Rice with Milk)* Rice with milk I want to get married To a senorita From the capital
Who knows how to sew With this one, yes I like milk |
Sol Solecito (Sun, Little Sun)*
Sun, little sun Moon, little moon Snail, snail |
| *In Spanish, these verses rhyme and, like ìHey Diddle, Diddleî, they make little sense. The rhyming is lost in the translation. | |
I watch all the YouTubes and find them very interesting and informative. Thank you.
nice video clip of the little girl doing the “leche” rhyme.
I watched the video of Liseth from Bogota and really enjoyed it. I will be visiting my sponsored child in Mexico next month and I was trying to learn little rhymes to share with her….I am learning Arroz con Leche so I can share with her and if she already knows it we can do it together. I have also gone to Bolivia on a MAT before and it was fantastic to meet my sponsored child and seminarian. Every sponsor should spoil themselves and visit on a Mat!
