El Mamboretá
Canticuénticos
The Mamboretá
I'm going to tell you
From a mamboretá
Who confidently passed through the door of the anthill
An ant said: I saw it first!
And he took it by the paw to the entrance
What a scare the mamboretá had
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little paw
But at the other end there are so many ants
The beautiful Panambí comes to your aid
With the panambí, the mamboretá
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little paw
But at the other end there are so many ants
The funny kururú comes to their aid
With the kukurú, with the panambí, the mamboretá
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little paw
But at the other end there are so many ants
The brave alligator comes to their aid
With the alligator, with the kukurú, with the panambí, the mamboretá
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little paw
But at the other end there are so many ants
The calm Ñurumí comes to their aid
Ñurumí, Ñurumí
It wouldn't be the anteater, would it?
With the ñurumí, with the yacaré, with the kukurú, with the panambí
The mamboretá
Worried, he pulls, pulls, pulls on his little paw
When the Ñurumí sees that they are ants
He licks his lips and says: Mmm, time for breakfast
Ah! (Ah! Ah!)
I'm going to tell you
From a mamboretá
Who confidently passed through the door of the anthill
With the ñurumi as a companion
But the ants did not come out
Not even to look
