Apr. 29, 2008 - Canta una canción - Sing a song!
If I were more proactive and categorized my blog entries, this might go under the heading: "Showing your age". Maybe this will be more of a sentimental journey for us adults than a meaningful experience for the kids, but let's give it a try! And many thanks to Patricia P. whose question to me prompted this blog entry. 
Many years ago on Sesame Street, they featured a song written by Joe Raposo and made popular by The Carpenters, entitled "Sing". In the last verse, a child sings an echo in Spanish. Here are the lyrics and audio:
Sing
Sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad
Sing
Sing a song
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Sing
Sing a song
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
