<poem>"     De colores, de colores
Se visten los campos en la primavera.
Son los pajaritos que vienen de afuera.
Es el arco iris que vemos lucir.
De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
Brillantes y finos se viste la aurora.
Son los mil reflejos que el sol atesora.
Se viste el diamante que vemos lucir.
De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
Con el quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri, quiri.
Con el cara, cara, cara, cara, cara.
Con el pío, pío, pío, pío, pí.
De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
Vivamos en gracia puesto que se puede.
La sed ardorosa del Rey que no muere.
Llevemos a Cristo un alma y mil más.
La gracia divina del gran ideal.
La gracia divina del gran ideal.
Sí, de blanco y negro y rojo y azul y castaño.
De gente que ríe, y estrecha la mano.
De gente que sabe de la libertad.
De muchos colores me gustan a mí.
De muchos colores me gustan a mí."</poem>
English Version
<poem>"     In colors, in colors
The fields are dressed in the spring.
Are the little birds that come from outside.
Is the rainbow that we see shining.
The great loves of many colors
The great loves of many colors.
Brilliant and delicate is dressed the dawn.
Are the thousand gleams the sun treasures.
Is dressed the diamond we see shining.
The great loves of many colors.
The great loves of many colors.
The rooster sings, the rooster sings
With a cock-a-doodle, cock-a-doodle-doo.
With a cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck.
With a cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep.
The great loves of many colors.
The great loves of many colors.
Let us live in grace since we can.
The burning thirst of the King who does not die.
Let us bring to Christ a soul and thousand more.
The divine grace from the great ideal.
The divine grace from the great ideal.
Yes, black and white and red and blue and brown.
From people laughing, and shaking hands.
From people who know freedom.
The great loves of many colors
The great loves of many colors."</poem>
