The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "La Mona Jacinta" by Maria Elena Walsh.
Lyrics
La mona Jacinta
se ha puesto una cinta.
Se peina, se peina,
y quiere ser reina.
¡Ay, no te rías
de sus monerías!
Mas la pobre mona
no tiene corona.
Tiene una galera
de hoja de higuera.
Un loro bandido
le vende un vestido,
un manto de pluma
y un collar de espuma.
Al verse en la fuente,
dice alegremente:
-¡Qué mona preciosa,
parece una rosa!
Levanta un castillo
de un solo ladrillo
rodeado de flores
y sapos cantores.
La mona cocina
con leche y harina,
prepara la sopa
y tiende la ropa.
Su marido mono
se sienta en el trono.
Sus hijas monitas
en cuatro sillitas.

Lyrics translation
The mona Jacinta
he's put on a tape.
Comb it, comb it,
and she wants to be Queen.
Oh, don't laugh
of your monies!
But poor mona
he has no crown.
He's got a galley.
fig leaf.
Their bandit
he sells her a dress.,
a feather cloak
and a foam collar.
When seen at the source,
he says cheerfully:
- What a lovely cutie,
it looks like a rose!
Raise a castle
single-brick
surrounded by flowers
and singing frogs.
The mona kitchen
with milk and flour,
prepare the soup
and stretch your clothes.
Her monkey husband
he sits on the throne.
His little daughters
four chairs.
