A beautiful summer evening



Dale, dale, dale,
No pierdas el tino,
porque si lo pierdes
pierdes el camino

Dale, dale, dale,
No pierdas el tino,
Mide la distancia
Que hay en el camino

No quiero oro
No quiero plata
yo lo que quiero
es romper la piñata

Echen confites
y canelones
pa’ los muchachos
que son muy tragones.

La piñata tiene caca,
tiene caca,
tiene caca,
cacahuates de a montón.

I had never heard this song. Interesting.

When I heard the adults singing it as the kids were hitting the pinata, I had to find it online. I HAD to know what they were singing! I know some spanish (not enough), so I could kind of understand what they were saying when they weren't singing the song. Apparently, they start out with the youngest kids to hit the pinata, then call out the next age for the next group, all the way up to the oldest kids. Or whoever breaks open the pinata first.

Ok, definitely need to go get out my spanish dictionary...Looks like fun...Just not sure how the caca fits in?! :)

In this song, the caca is short for cacahuates (peanuts) which follows. It just makes the song more playful.
