About this song
One of the most beloved children's songs in the Spanish-speaking world and a staple in Spain. Its image of chicks peeping for their mother is tender and easy, perfect for early sound imitation.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Make soft 'pío, pío' chick sounds for baby to copy.
- Tuck baby under your arm like a hen's wing on the last verse.
- Pause and let baby vocalise back.
Lyrics & Rhyme
Los pollitos dicen
pío, pío, pío,
cuando tienen hambre,
cuando tienen frío.
La gallina busca
el maíz y el trigo,
les da la comida
y les presta abrigo.
Bajo sus dos alas,
acurrucaditos,
hasta el otro día
duermen los pollitos.
