Caracol en el sol
~ Snail in the sun ~
Here is a great poema that you can memorize para la primavera.
Caracol-col-col
No tienes patitatas
Como las hormiguitas
Pero sí tienes tentáculos
Que son fantásticos
Y suben al sol sol sol
-por Gabriella Rivera
Translation:
Caracol-col-col (Snail -ail -ail)
No tienes patitatas (You do not have feet)
Como las hormiguitas (like the little ants)
Pero sí tienes tentáculos (but, yes, you have tentacles)
Que son fantasticos (that are fantastic)
Y suben al sol sol sol (and rise up to the sun sun sun)
And for an even better learning experience, combine it with hand motions.
Este poema was inspired by another popular Spanish poem:
Caracol, col, col
saca tus cuernos al sol
que tu padre y tu madre
ya los sacó
But I wanted to create one that had more useful learning phrases, and so I created Caracol en el sol.
