De Colores Lyrics
Joan Baez
DE COLORES
De colores,
de colores se visten los campos en la primavera.
De colores,
de colores son los pajaritos que vienen de afuera.
De colores,
de colores es el arco iris que vemos lucir.
Y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores
me gustan a ma. (Repeat)
Canta el gallo,
canta el gallo con el quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri, qui,
la gallina,
la gallina con el cara, cara, cara, cara, cara,
los polluelos,
los polluelos con el pao, pao, pao, pao, pi.
y por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores
me gustan a ma. (Repeat)
