Hello. Hello.

And you? How are you?

Good morning. Good morning.
How are you today?
I’m fine. I’m fine.
And you? How are you?

Good evening. Good evening.

2) From one to ten

Lyrics: Carolina Abrego
Music: Néstor Iencenella

One, two, three and four
Let’s make a circle and sit on the floor
Five and six, let’s play tricks
Seven and eight, don’t be late
Nine and ten.
Are you ready, my friend?

3) A grey day

Lyrics: Carolina Abrego
Music: Mónica Tirabasso

The sky is grey
The sun went away
The clouds are smiling and
The rain is coming!

4) A sunny day

Lyrics: Carolina Abrego

What a nice day today!
The sun is shining again
Goodbye, clouds! Goodbye, rain!
Goodbye to you, Mr. Wind!
What a nice day today!
Come on! Let’s go to play!

5) Can you?

Lyrics: Mónica Tirabasso and Patricia Sainz
Music: Mónica Tirabasso

I can’t run like a horse,
But I can run like this.

I can’t jump like a frog,
But I can jump like this.

I can’t swim like a fish,
But I can swim like this.

I can’t fly like a bee
But I can fly like this.

I can’t sing like a bird,
But I can sing like this.
La, la, la, la…

6) Let’s move with colours!

Lyrics: Carolina Abrego
Music: Néstor Iencenella

Jump if you see yellow!
Hop if you see blue and red!
Waklk if you see orange
Black or green, brown or grey.
Jump if you see purple!
Hop if you see white and pink!
Walk if you see beige and green!
And give a huge scream!
La la ra ra, la la ra ra…

8) The happy bears

Lyrics: Carolina Abrego
Music: Néstor Iencenella

Mother bear and father bear
Have lots of honey to share
A little here, a little there
How happy are the bears!

How happy, how happy,
how happy are the bears!
How happy, how happy,
how happy they are!

A black and white cat
With a yellow big hat
Has lots of fish to share
A little here, a little there
Some fish is for the bears!

How happy, how happy,
how happy are the bears!
How happy, how happy,
how happy they are!

A long and green snake
That lives near a lake
Has some water to share
A little here, a little there
Some water is for the bears!

How happy, how happy,
how happy are the bears!
How happy, how happy,
how happy they are!

9) Planetary Dance

Lyrics: Patricia Sainz
Music: Néstor Iencenella

Round and round the Sun
Every year
Our planet orbits
Steady and clear.

The Sun gets dizzy
And says: “Please, stop!”
But the Earth keeps going
Spinning like a top.

10) Butterfly

Lyrics and Music: María Luján Capdebosq

A butterfly
Goes up to the sky.
It wants to steal
The colours of the rainbow.

11) Ten sheep

Lyrics and Music: María Luján Capdebosq

As I can’t sleep I count:
One, two sheep
Three, four sheep
As I can’t sleep I count
They go jumping

Five, six, seven
Sheep I count,
But they are
Not enough.
Eight, nine sheep
I count now
They are ten.

I hope I have nice dreams.

12) Happy birthday, dear friend!

Lyrics: Patricia Sainz
Music: Mónica Tirabasso

On this special day
We all want to say
Happy birthday,
Happy birthday, dear friend!

We wish you
The happiest,
The happiest day of all. (repeat)
we wish you the brightest,
The brightest day of all. (repeat)

We wish you
The brightest
The happiest
The happiest day of all.

We wish you the sunniest
The sunniest day of all.

We wish you
The sunniest
The brightest
The happiest
The happiest day of all.

13) Present and Past

Lyrics: Patricia Sainz
Music: Mónica Tirabasso

Chorus:
If the past of the verbs
You want to learn
Come along
And sing this song.

“HAVE” is the present
“HAD” is the past.
These two words
Are mine at last!

Continue with:
Make, made, come, came, etc.

14) To my family

Lyrics and Music: Chacho Marceillac

With my hands,
With my arms,
And my kisses like butterflies…
I want to tell you,
My dear family,
How much love there is in my heart!
With my eyes,
Shiny stars,
With my song and happy smile,
I want to tell you, my dear family,
How much love there is in my heart! (repeat)

15) Halloween

Lyrics and Music: Sebastián Monk

All the people singing
Witches and monsters screaming
Trick or treat?
Candy or sweet?
That’s all you ask from me.

Halloween, Halloween,
Great sensation
Full of fascination
Come on and dance close to me
La, la, la…

16) Happy teacher’s day!

Lyrics: Patricia Sainz
Music: Mónica Tirabasso

If I knew a good song
I’d sing it to you.

If I write a poem
I’d read it to you.

If I found some treasure
I’d give it to you.

If I owned a bright star
I’d bring it to you.

All I have is my heart
And it beats for you.
And a kiss, dear teacher,
To show I love you.

17) Friends of the Earth

Lyrics: Patricia Sainz
Music: Néstor Iencenella

If you want to be my friend
This you must do
Clean up my rivers
My oceans, too.

Stop killing forests
Animals and birds
Wildlife’s in danger
This you must learn.

Don’t poison the air
The air your children breathe
They deserve a good place
To realize their dreams.
(Chorus)
I want to be a friend,
A friend of the Earth
I want to be a friend,
A friend of the Earth
(repeat chorus)
And you can, too!

18) Our Rights

Lyrics: Patricia Sainz
Music: Néstor Iencenella

Here we are
The children of the world
Let our voices
Everywhere be heard.

We want to live
In a worthy place
And dignify
The human race.

We want to have and
Defend with all our might
For everyone of us
These children’s rights.

We have the right
To receive education
And not to suffer
From discrimination.

A free and healthy life
Good play and enough rest
And our parents’ love
Will make our lives the best.

We deserve respect
Should get information
Let us not be victims
Of labour exploitation.

Let us freely think
Stand for our beliefs
Let us freely speak
No more tears or grief.

If we join together
Injustice to face
We will make forever
This world our place.

Here we are
The children of the world
Let our voices
Everywhere be heard. (repeat)
