In this post: Learn the best Spanish songs and poems for spring! Post contains affiliate links.
Spring is finally here and it is an amazing time to bring some Spanish learning into your homes! One of the best ways to get your children speaking and engaging with Spanish is to teach them songs or rhymes.
I roughly translated the Spanish poems below to help you all learn but it is definitely a literal translation that lacks the beauty and poetry that we see in Spanish.
Here are some of my favorite Spanish rhymes and poems that I teach my children and my students each spring!
Spanish spring poems for kids
Caracol, caracol
Saca tus cuernos al sol
Que tu padre y tu madre
Ya los sacaron.
Translation:
Snail, snail
Take your horns out to the sun
Just like your father and mother
have already done.
Pito, pito, colorito
¿Dónde vas tú, tan bonito?
Voy al campo de la era
A la escuela verdadera.
Translation:
Whitle, whistle little colorful (bird is implied)
Where are you going looking so beautiful?
I’m going to the harvest field
To the true school
La Primavera ha venido
nadie sabe cómo ha sido.
Ha despertado la rama
y el almendro ha florecido
y en el campo se escuchaba
el gri gri del grillo.
La primavera ha venido
nadie sabe cómo ha sido.
-A.Machado
Translation:
Spring has come
no one knows how it has been
It has awoken the branch
and the almond tree has flowered
and in the field you can hear
the chirp chirp of the cricket.
Spring has come
and no one knows how it has been.
Spanish kid songs for spring
Los pollitos dicen
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 presta abrigo
Bajo sus dos alas
Acurrucaditos
Hasta el otro día
Duermen los pollitos
Translation:
The chicks say
peep, peep, peep
When they are hungry
When they are cold
The hen looks for
corn and wheat
She gives them food
and keeps them warm
Under her two wings
All snuggled up
Until another day
The little chicks sleep
Somos como las flores – by Charlotte Diamond
Somos como las flores
En el jardín de la vida
Somos como las flores
Necesitamos la lluvia y el sol.
Sol, caliénteme
Luna, arrúllame
Brisa, refréscame
Tierra, aliméntame
Translation:
We are like the flowers
In the garden of life
We are like the flowers
We need the rain and the sun
Sun, warm me
Moon, lull me to sleep
Breeze, refresh me
Earth, nourish me
Lluvia vete ya (To the tune of Rain, rain go away)
Lluvia, lluvia vete ya
Otro día volverás
(name of person) quiere jugar
lluvia vete ya
Translation:
Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
(Name of person) wants to play
Rain go away
