| Los pollitos dicen | The little chicks say |
| Pío, pío, pío | Pio, pio, pio |

| Cuando tienen frío | And when they’re cold |
| La gallina busca | The hen looks for |
| El maíz y el trigo | Corn and wheat |
| Y les alimento | She feeds them and |
| Y les presta abrigo | Covers them with warmth |
| Bajo sus dos alas | Under her two wings |
| Acurrucaditos | She cuddles them |
| Hasta el otro día | The chicks sleep |
| Duermen los pollitos | Until the next day |
| Bajo sus dos alas | Under her two wings |
| Acurrucaditos | She cuddles them |
| Hasta el otro dia | The chicks sleep |
| Duermen los pollitos | Until the next day |
