Drum Ra Pum / Tamborcito Rataplam

Alvaro Rogelio Gómez Estrada

 

English

Drum pa rum pum pum
Drum pa rum pum pum
The school children
will march

The morning begins
dressed in satin,
she will rejoice when she hears
the drums ra pum
Pa rum pum pum
Pa rum pum pum


Spanish

Rataplam plam plam
Rataplam plam plam
los niñitos de la escuela
a marchar acudirán…

La mañana que comienza
vestida de tafetán,
se alegrará cuando escuche
los tambores rataplam…
Rataplam plam plam…
rataplam plam plam…
