In Colors
In colors,
In colors the fields are dressed
In the springtime
In colors,
Colorful is the rainbow
That we see shine
And that is why the great loves
of many colors are pleasing to me (3Xs)
Sings the rooster,
Sings the rooster with the
Cock-a-doodle-do, cock-a-doodle do...
The hen,
The hen with the
Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck...
The baby chicks,
The baby chicks with the
Peep, peep, peep, peep...
And that is why the great loves
of many colors are pleasing to me (3Xs)

Thank you, Freda, for posting this old Mexican song. Just one thing:
"los pajaritos que vienen 'de fuera' '' are birds from far away lands in their migration.
As a matter of fact, when we sung this song years back, we said, "de colores los pájaros RAROS que viene de fuera --> rare/ strange/foreign. "Afuera" is an error in the original.
