El país donde vivo

Es mi hermoso hogar

Sus paisajes, los lugares

Todo luce fenomenal

Yo lo cuido, lo valoro

Yo lo quiero de verdad

Finger Games

Los deditos de la mano

Todos juntos estarán

Si lo cuentas uno a uno

Cinco son y nada más

Los deditos de la mano

Estirados los verás

Si tú cuentas las dos manos

Cinco y cinco serán

Song of the Week

Buenos días ya salió el sol

Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón

Buenas noches, la luna salió

Muchas estrellitas, luceros de amor

Estrellas, planetas

Luna y sol

Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor

Rhymes

El sol tiene frío

No quiere salir

Oculto entre las nubes

Se ha puesto a dormir
