Description

Así como nuestro idioma vino de España, también los cantos tradicionales vinieron de allá. De España llegó Colón con sus tres carabelas y, tras él, Doña Blanca, Juan Pirulero, La Viudita de Santa Isabel, la Pájara Pinta y otros muchos personajes que al ser adoptados por los niños de aquí se volvieron mexicanos y aprendieron a cantar con palabras diferentes, a bailar con nuevos pasos y a jugar de manera distinta.

Just as our language came from Spain, so too did our traditional songs. Columbus sailed from Spain in three famed ships, and behind him there were many more to come. These stories are widely recited by children in Mexico through songs and games that are handed from down from generation to generation.
