Aprendamos de Los Niños

Dad, I want to introduce you
To my friends from school

This is my friend Manué
He's of flamenco race
He sings like no other
And dances bulerías
Which is worth seeing

And this is my friend Yurico
With her slit eyes
We call her the little Chinese
She always sits by my side
And we share everything

In school, everyone is the same
Without social differences
Let's learn from the children
For them, only respect
And affection matter

See if one day you come
At recess time

My friend Fátima is
A Moorish girl with art
When she plays her jembé
She has a polka dot handkerchief
I want one too

And this is my friend Alejandro
He's mixed race
And his parents are Cuban
And he dances son and salsa
Nobody can match them

In school, everyone is the same
Without social differences
Let's learn from the children
For them, only respect
And affection matter

The teachers scold us
When they catch us singing

Paolo is Portuguese
And he plays the guitar
That seems like it's from Jerez
And singing sevillanas
There's no one like him

Today Daniela hasn't come
She always sits
In her wheelchair
But she's the prettiest girl
In the whole school

In school, everyone is the same
Without social differences
Let's learn from the children
For them, only respect
And affection matter

Dad, I want them to come
To my birthday

And also come
My African classmate
Named Mohamed
With his curly hair
And his dark skin

The second-grade teacher
Says that being different
Is the most beautiful thing in the world
And we must learn to love
And live together

In school, everyone is the same
Without social differences
Let's learn from the children
For them, only respect
And affection matter
