Arroz con Leche

Arroz con leche

Arroz con Leche
Arroz con leche me quiero casar
con una señorita de la capital,
que sepa coser,
que sepa contar,
que sepa abrir la puerta
para ir a jugar.

Yo soy la viudita, del barrio del rey,
Me quiero casar y no encuentro con quien:
con éste, sí, con éste, no;
contigo, mi vida, me casaré yo.

English Translation
Rice with milk, I'd like to get married,
to a young girl from the capital,
who knows how to sew
who knows how to sing,
who knows how to open the door
so we can go out and play.

I am a widow, from the king's quarters,
I'd like to marry, I know not with whom:
with this one, it's yes; with this one, it's no.
with you, my dear, I'll marry you soon.

This song is also a game. Children hold hands and walk in a circle around a boy
who stands in the middle. He chooses a girl to be the señorita and she takes his
place in the middle of the circle. She chooses a boy, etc.
