Circle Game
(Spanish)
(English)
Al corro de la patata
Comeremos ensalada,
Lo que comen los señores,
Naranjitas y limones.
¡Alupé, alupé,*
Sentadita me quedé!
At the potato circle dance
We will eat some salad
Like gentlemen eat,
Oranges and lemons
Alupé, alupé!*
Sitting down I stayed.
Notes
*Alternate Version: "A los pies, a los pies" ("At the feet, at the feet!")
Game Instructions
The children dance in a circle while singing the song. On "Alupé, alupé" they crouch down.
