Rhyme
(Spanish)
(English)
Juana la marrana
Se cayó en el zoquetal.
Vino el panadero
Y no la pudo levantar.
Vino el carnicero
Y la partió por la mitad.
Janie the pig
Fell into the mud.
The baker came
And couldn't lift her up.
The butcher came
And cut her in half.
Notes
There are some variants of this rhyme: the name of the pig changes or the people who couldn't lift her.
Ana la marrana
se cayó en el zoquetal.
Vinieron los bomberos,
no la pudieron levantar.
English Translation
Ann the pig
Fell into the mud.
The firemen came,
They couldn't lift her up.
Another version
Ana, la marrana
Se cayó en el zoquetal,
Ni los perros ni los gatos
La pudieron levantar.
English Translation
Ann the pig
Fell into the mud.
Neither the dogs nor the cats
Could lift her up.
