📚 Poems

Alrededor del mundo

Hay muchas personas como tú y como yo

Su música y su país es diferente

Y a  todas ellas les doy

mi amor y admiración.

Vamos amiguitos

Vamos a tocar

Muchos instrumentos

Para pa pa pa

Suena el tambor

Suena el violin

Suena la guitarra

Trin trin trin trin

Ahí vienen las maracas

Vamos todos a tocar

En esta linda orquesta

Que es fenomenal.
