La hormiga y el elefante

La hormiga y el elefante son amigos desde años
El pequeño dice: “sigue adelante! Aventurando nos vamos!
Vamos Vamos a la playa a gozar…
Pero cuando llegaron, estaba nublado, ventoso y amenazaba tormenta.
”Escondase debajo mi oreja” dice el Elefante.
La hormiga se esconde, se cierre los ojos y cuando los abre...
Estaban volando en un globo aerostático.
Subiendo por las nubes con una ardilla como el piloto.
La ardilla saque las bellotas y las ofreció
y el Elefante los partió y todos tres se lo comio — que sorpresa!
Entonces se desaparecieron detrás una nube grande.
Imagino que están ya llegando a la casa de otro amigo
Pero que sé yo? Soy un pájaro, un pájaro no más.
Soy una golondrina, pasado un roble mirando lo q’ pasa.
Se vieron como estaban gozando, pero no ví a donde se fueron.
Estoy feliz a decirte que puedo terminar este historia:
ya ví mis amigos flotando en lo alto, sonriendo,
y volando! y volando una cometa – que sorpresa!

Melón me gusta

Melon, melon, melon me gusta
“Buy more, buy more!”…pero no me gusta!
¿Porque comprar algo sucio, que crece de un árbol, sagrado y limpio?
¿Porque comprar algo sucio, que crece de un árbol?
Chorus repeat
¿Porque quejar de las frutas, en vez pidiendo helado, helado?
¿Porque quejar cuando lo tienes, un postre de verdad? Melon sabroso!

Oh no, here it comes!
What’s that face you’re making?
It smells like poo…it’s poop!
No more diapers, no more diapers,
No más pañales, no más pañales!
Diaper man, make a diaper plan!
Take a diaper stand: stand up and say “No more diapers!”
Oh here it comes: we will win against the diapers!
We will use the calzones de Thomas/Tomás the tank engine – es tu favorito;
Porque no le gusta usar los pañales jamás!
(English translation: 'because he doesn't like to use the diapers anymore')

San Francisco — you can have it if you want it,
but you know you never had it to begin with.
You never wanted to live in a place like this
but you did, because you were born here.
Now Berkeley is kinda nice: so many trees and old hippies.
The hills, the flats, the weather’s always where it’s at.
And it’s the place where you made so many friends at Monteverde 1.
The summer’s feeling good
You’ll ride your bike around the hood
Don’t have to slow yourself down.
You’ve been to so many places via plane or on the train.
You’ve been all around the world and you’re only 3 years old!
You’ve been to Mexico, Hawai’i, Japan thrice, Holland
and to the lands and forests.
An urge to be outside, an urge to take a ride to the countryside.
Penis! You can call it what you want:
it’s a chinchin (ちんちん), it’s a pene.
You are anything you want.
Wear a dress under a vest, wear a band aid on your chest:
you don’t have to be like anyone.
Choose your partner, choose your gender-but it might choose you!
If you’re meant to wear shorts in the snow,
like the cold on your toes, or pick a friend with your nose,
just do it.
Cut the noise
rally the seeds and all your toys
and let’s head out of town
your special place is outside
pee on a tree — it’s alright
in the countryside
1. Monteverde is Rio’s preschool in Berkeley

Sometimes I'm shy
03:28

When you think you’re all alone, language brings you home.
On the playground, scrape your knee
Let the bees knees be!
When I was in 4th grade
I was the butt of a joke
the principal’s son — he knew
“you comb your hair with an eggbeater” he said
“is that how you get that cool style?”
It wasn’t funny then, it isn’t funny now,
when you’re in the out crowd.
you may think to yourself, or say it out loud:
“Sometimes I’m shy”.
Sometimes you’re shy? So am I.
Maybe you’ll wet your pants,
perhaps afraid to dance, you’ll miss out on a party
But not your birthday party,
cuz it’s not just a hobby — it’s something you’re really into.
But then you choke up, you don’t wanna speak up
or even blow out your candles
We all have moments like that, y’ know just like that cat
….sometimes we are shy!
Sometimes you’re shy? So am I.
Whatever language, you’ll come out loud and clear.
Your English has exploded; is Nippoñol outmoded?
or is this just a phase?
Can be as shy as you like, or have an energy spike —
Oh gregarious days!
the more words to learn, the harder it is to talk with confidence.
Because you think very fast — three ways in one at that — your shyness makes sense.

Got to garden your own way (spray with water)
make sure to put on some bug spray (spray with something)
because those mosquitos they love you sweet blood, y’ know?
and my protective instinct ain’t just for show.
Plant some uchua 1 and garlic (what a combo!)
and start up a dance party (dance dance)
with the butterflies and the hummingbirds
who talk with dance moves instead of words.
Hi diddliho neighboreenos 2
You used to play with Mousa and Kadeem, 3
now we hang with our friends in the garden.
Sit in a quiet and dark place (you’ll find it),
concentrate on your breathing,
Notice how your thoughts will always come and go,
body sensations are in constant flow.
My own amigo
In this strange world we have but one body,
it burps, it farts, it is naughty.
But just be your own amigo.
To make some bread you need this (some flour)
and yeast and salt and water (some other stuff)
now mix it up into a sticky mess
let’s bake this bread — we got this.
Hi ho amigo
It’s not too late to bake at a friend’s house
a sleepover at Iggy or Lev’s house 4
1. “uchua” is what we call Physalis peruviana, a delicious fruit that grows well in the SF Bay Area
2. obligatory ‘Simpsons’ reference
3. Mousa and Kadim were our (older) kid neighbors who Rio would play with when he was 2 years old.
4. Iggy and Lev are two of Rio’s friends. Rio has had one sleepover at Iggy’s and it was a hit.

Una nave espacial
Se sale por un ride
Gigante y loud
Brillante – qué barbaridad!
Para llegar al sol se necesita caracol con mucho amor y descaro
Si te atreves, te llenes de azucar y leche
Y vete a despedir tu caro
Waaaaaaaaaaaaay out out loud! we go up, we go down!
Algunos dicen “nos vamos”
pero aquí estamos, y cuidar a la casa es primaria.
Si encontramos con otros, y nos presentamos como locos,
prefiero quedar en la Tierra.
