Yo Tenía Diez Perritos

The song 'Yo Tenía Diez Perritos' is a classic Spanish-language children's song, and Cepillín, a beloved Mexican clown and singer, brings it to life with his playful and engaging style. The song is essentially a counting rhyme, where the singer starts with ten puppies and, through each verse, loses one to various whimsical and unfortunate events until there are none left. It's a tune that combines learning with entertainment, teaching children to count backwards in a fun and memorable way.

Each verse of the song presents a different scenario in which a puppy is lost, ranging from one dying in the snow to another being taken away by a character named Andrés. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, making it easy for children to sing along and remember the numbers. The playful nature of the song, despite the seemingly sad events, is typical of children's songs that often use light-hearted storytelling to engage young listeners.

Cepillín's rendition of 'Yo Tenía Diez Perritos' is filled with laughter and interjections that add to the song's charm. His persona as a clown and entertainer is well-suited for such a song, as it requires a level of cheerfulness and energy to keep the children's attention. The song ends with an invitation to repeat the story, emphasizing its educational purpose and the joy of singing along. Cepillín's performance of this song is a testament to his ability to connect with his young audience and make learning an enjoyable experience.
