| Text Translation | ¡Ay, ay, ay, ay! Estas pulgas no las puedo ver, ¡ay, ay, ay, ay! pues me pican a mí y a mi mujer. ¡Ay, ay, ay, ay! con las pulgas me enojo y da risa, ¡ay, ay, ay, ay! porque pican entre la camisa. La chinche pica y se va, el piojo pica y se acuesta, Pero la maldita pulga ni siquiera duerme siesta. ¡Ay, cómo brincan!, ¡ay, cómo saltan!, ¡ay, como pican las pulgas ingratas! ¡Ay, cómo brincan!, ¡ay, cómo saltan!, ¡ay, como pican las pulgas ingratas! Ay, ay, ay, ay! I can’t see those fleas, Ay, ay, ay, ay! They’re biting me and my wife. Ay, ay, ay, ay! Those fleas make me mad and they make me laugh, Ay, ay, ay, ay! Because they bite under my shirt. Bedbugs bite and leave, lice take a bite and then lay down, But those darned fleas don’t even take a nap. Ay! They jump! They Hop! Ay! They really bite, those dirty fleas! Ay! They jump! They Hop! Ay! They really bite, those dirty fleas! -Translation by Katie Villaseñor |
