This is a typical Spanish song teached in Spain in order that our pupils learn to count from one to ten. Tomorrow I am going to teach it to a 4th grade Danish class. I have translated it by myself, so maybe it is not perfect, but at least they will have an idea about the meaning of what they sing.
I hope they enjoy it and learn a little bit of Spanish.

La
Gallina Turuleca :
Yo
conozco una vecina,
que ha comprado una gallina,
que parece una sardina enlatada.
que ha comprado una gallina,
que parece una sardina enlatada.
Tiene
las patas de alambre,
porque pasa mucha hambre,
y la pobre está todita desplumada.
porque pasa mucha hambre,
y la pobre está todita desplumada.
Pone huevos
en la sala,
y también en la cocina,
pero nunca los pone en el corral.
y también en la cocina,
pero nunca los pone en el corral.
La gallina,
Turuleca,
es un caso singular,
la gallina, Turuleca,
está loca de verdad.
ESTRIBILLO:
La gallina Turuleca,
ha puesto un huevo,
ha puesto dos,
ha puesto tres.

La gallina Turuleca,
ha puesto cuatro,

La gallina Turuleca,
ha puesto siete,
ha puesto ocho,

¿Dónde está

Déjala, la pobrecita,
déjala que ponga diez.

Turuleca, the hen
I
know a neighbor,
who
has bought a hen
which
looks like a canned sardine.
Her legs
seem wires,
because
she is starving,
and
the poor of her is completely plucked.
She
lays eggs in the living room,
and
also in the kitchen,
but
she never lays them in the pen.
Turuleca,
the hen,
is a
particular one,
Turuleca,
the hen,
is
really crazy.
CHORUS:
Turuleca,
the hen,
has
lied one egg,
has
lied two,
has
lied three.
Turuleca,
the hen,
has
lied four,
has
lied five,
has
lied six.
Turuleca,
the hen,
has
lied seven,
has
lied eight,
has
lied nine.
Where
is the hen?
let
the poor hen
lying ten.

Thank you Paula for sharing this funny song, your danish pupils sure will enjoy it very much, would like to see some photos or a video of all of you singing it.
ResponderEliminarI am sorry but we are not allowed to take pictures of the children without asking parents first. But I assure you that they really liked it.
ResponderEliminarHi Paula. It is your teacher speaking. Did the song wake the pupils curiosity for Spain? I think it is a the use of songs an music videos is a good way to start an intercultural dialoge.
ResponderEliminarYes they really liked it and learnt just the chorus, as the other part was too difficult for a 4th grade class. Moreover, the teacher kept the song and the video and said we would practice it again in order that their pupils learn a little bit of Spanish. It was really enjoyable!
