by Federico García Lorca (1898 - 1936)
Ovejita, niño mío
Language: Spanish (Español)
Ovejita, niño mío, vámonos a la orilla del mar. La hormiguita estará en su puerta, yo te daré la teta y el pan. Bernarda, cara de leoparda. Magdalena, cara de hiena. ¡Ovejita! Meee, meee. Vamos a los ramos del portal de Belén.(Ríe) Ni tú ni yo queremos dormir. La puerta sola se abrirá y en la playa nos meteremos en una choza de coral. Bernarda, cara de leoparda. Magdalena, cara de hiena. ¡Ovejita! Meee, meee. Vamos a los ramos del portal de Belén!
