words and music by Marta Gomez. 2002 Based on a traditional Colombian song for children.

watch this video with your kids.



A la rueda, rueda de pan y canela
Dame un besito, vete pa'la escuela
Que juegue a la ronda el sol y la tierra
A la rueda ruedita tierra de piedra
Dame un besito sol de madera.

CORO:
A la rueda rueda luz
de pan y canela viento
a la rueda rueda mar
de pan y canela aire
a ver si se acaban to'los problemas
jugando a la ronda pan y canela

Arre caballito hecho de madera
no andes tan despacio al subir la cuesta
que juegue a la ronda el mar y la arena
arre mi caballito arena de piedra
no andes tan despacio mar de madera

A la rueda rueda sol
de pan y canela lluvia
a la rueda rueda sal
de pan y canela cielo.
A ver si se acaban to'los problemas
jugando a la ronda pan y canela
A la rueda rueda luz
de pan y canela agua
a la rueda rueda paz
de pan y canela guerra
a ver si se acaban to'los problemas
jugando a la ronda pan y canela
.a ver si se acaban to'los problemas
jugando a la ronda pan y canela.
a ver si se acaban to'los problemas
jugando a la ronda pan y canela.



the interpretation
This loses a lot of context of the words. But it's a nice basic interperation of this song.

La Ronda
Let's play as children do
give me a kiss and go to school
let's also invite the sun and the earth
the light and the wind
and let's see if then the problems will end.

Let's pretend we're riding horsies
mine will be the sea and yours will be the sand
let's just go faster and faster as fast as they can
let's also invite the moon and the sun
the peace and the war
and we will see then that all the problems will end.
