Lyrics
Fragil como un volantin
En los techos de barrancas
Jugaba el niño Luchin
Con sus manitos moradas
Con la pelota de trapo
Con el gato y con el perro
El cabalo lo miraba
En el agua de sus ojos
Se bañana el verde claro
Gateaba a su corta edad
Con el potito embarrado
Con la pelota de trapo
Con el gato y con el perro
El caballo lo miraba
El caballo era otro juego
En aquel pequeño espacio
Y al animal parecia
Le gustaba ese trabajo
Con la pelota de trapo
Con el gato y con el perro
Y con Luchito mojado
Si hay niños como luchin
Que comen tierra y gusanos
Abramos todas las jaulas
Pa' que vuelen como pajaros
Con la pelota de trapo
Con el gato y con el perro
Y tambien con el caballo
Lyrics translation
Fragile as a flier
On the roofs of ravines
Played the child Luchin
With their little purple hands
With the rag ball
With the cat and with the dog
The cabal looked at him
In the water of his eyes
Light green bath
He crawled at his young age
With the muddy potito
With the rag ball
With the cat and with the dog
The horse looked at him
The horse was another game
In that small space
And the animal seemed
He liked that job.
With the rag ball
With the cat and with the dog
And with little wet Luchito
If there are children like luchin
Who eat earth and worms
Let's open all the cages.
'Cause they fly like birds
With the rag ball
With the cat and with the dog
And also with the horse
