Al jardín de la alegría
Quiere mi madre que vaya
Por ver si me sale un novio
El más bonito de España.
Vamos los dos, los dos, los dos,
Vamos los dos, en compañía,
Vamos los dos, los dos, los dos,
Al jardín de la alegría.
My mother wants me to go
To the garden of joy
To see if I can find a boyfriend,
The cutest one in Spain.
Let's both go, both of us, both of us,
Let's both go together,
Let's both go, both of us, both of us,
To the garden of joy.
Game Instructions
The children stand in a circle and one of them dances inside it while everybody sings the first four lines. On "el más bonito de España", he or she takes one of the other players by the hand and they both dance inside the circle while everybody sings the last four lines. On the last line, the first player goes to stand in the second player's spot and the game starts again.
