Caballito

It shrank, it shrank
My little horse shrank

My wooden horse
My prettiest toy
One of its legs got damaged
And my little horse shrank
Sailing down the river
I saw an old man playing
He taught me how to heal it
And we danced this little game

Attention, kids
The story is about to begin
Let's all imitate
What the little horse does

Uelelei ei ela
My little horse shrank
It shrank, it shrank
My little horse shrank

Uelelei ei ela
My little horse walked
It walked, it walked
My little horse walked

Uelelei ei ela
My little horse galloped
It galloped, it galloped
My little horse galloped

Oh, it shrank and shrank
My little horse shrank
Oh, it shrank and walked
My little horse walked

Uelelei ei ela
My little horse jumped
It jumped, it jumped
My little horse jumped

Uelelei ei ela
My little horse froze
It froze, it froze
My little horse froze

Uelelei ei ela
My little horse crouched
It crouched, it crouched
It crouched like a little frog

Oh, it jumped and froze
My little horse crouched

Egidio with his accordion
Also plays the little horse
Egidio with his accordion
You do it with your little hands

Let's gallop now
Tiqui-taca the little horse
As the drum says
We do it with our little hands
As Gilberth played it
We do it just the same

Uelelei ei ela
My little horse shrank
It shrank, it shrank
My little horse shrank

Uelelei ei ela
My little horse ran
It ran, it ran
My little horse ran

Uelelei ei ela
My little horse turned
It turned, it turned
My little horse turned

Oh, it shrank and ran
My little horse ran
It ran and stopped
Holding hands

And turned and turned
My little horse turned
It turned, it turned, turned, turned
My little horse turned

My horse tired
Has closed its little eyes
Let's all lull it to sleep
My little horse fell asleep
