La Patita

The little duck
With a basket and a little shawl
Goes to the market
To buy all the things on the list

She waddles as she walks
Like the boats at sea

The little duck
Runs and searches in her little bag
For pennies
To feed her ducklings
Because she knows that when she returns
They will all ask
What did you bring me, mama quack quack?
What did you bring me for quack-quack?

The little duck
Like you
With a basket and a little shawl
Like you
She's angry
Like you
Because everything is so expensive at the market

Since she doesn't have money to buy
She spends the day bargaining

Her ducklings
Are growing up and have no little shoes
And her husband
Is a shameless and lazy duck
Who doesn't provide any food
And the little duck, what will she do?
When they ask her, she will answer
Eat mosquitoes
For quack-quack!
