Los Pollitos - Letra de la canción
Los pollitos dicen
pío, pío, pío
cuando tienen hambre
cuando tienen frío.
La gallina busca
el maíz y el trigo,
les da la comida
y les da abrigo.
Bajo sus dos alas
se están quietecitos.
Hasta el otro día
duermen los pollitos.
Cuando se despiertan
dicen mamacita,
tengo mucha hambre,
dame lombricitas.
La gallina corre
al patio contento,
les trae gusanos
y granitos frescos.
Los pollitos saltan,
pío, pío, ¡qué rico!
picotean contentos
con su mamacita.
Cuando llueve fuerte
y truena el cielo,
se esconden juntitos
bajo el ala buena.
La gallina canta:
no tengan miedo, mis pollitos,
mamá los cuida
con mucho cariño.
Al final del día
cuando el sol se va,
se acurrucan todos
y duermen en paz.
Los pollitos dicen
pío, pío, pío...
¡qué feliz familia
con su mamacita!
Here is a natural and singable English translation of "Los Pollitos". It keeps the simple, repetitive, and affectionate feel of the original Spanish children's song.
The Little Chicks
The little chicks say
peep, peep, peep
when they’re feeling hungry,
when they’re feeling cold.
The mother hen looks for
corn and wheat,
she gives them their food
and keeps them warm and sweet.
Under her two wings
they stay so nice and still.
Till the next morning comes,
sleeping little chicks so chill.
When they wake up early
they call out, “Mama dear!”
“I’m so, so hungry,
bring me worms right here!”
The hen runs to the yard
so happy and so quick,
she brings them juicy worms
and fresh little grains to pick.
The chicks jump up and down,
peep, peep, “Yum, yum, yum!”
They peck so happily
with their mama, having fun.
When the rain comes pouring
and thunder fills the sky,
they huddle close together
under wings so warm and dry.
The hen sings softly,
“Don’t be scared, my little ones,
Mama’s here to love you
and keep you safe and strong.”
At the end of the day
when the sun goes down to rest,
they all cuddle together
and sleep the very best.
The little chicks say
peep, peep, peep…
What a happy family
with their mama sweet!
You can repeat the first verse (“The little chicks say…”) as a chorus between stanzas or at the very end for that classic nursery rhyme loop. It's perfect for singing with young children—add hand motions for the "peep peep" parts, wing-flapping for the hen, and cuddling gestures for the cozy ending!
