De Colores

De colores, de colores se visten
los campos en la primavera.
De colores, de colores son los
pajaritos que vienen de a fuera.
De colores, de colores es al
arco iris que vemos lucir.
Y por eso los grandes amores de
muchos colores me gustan a mi.

All the colors, yes, the colors we see
in the springtime with all of its flowers.
All the colors, when the sunlight shines out
through a rift in the cloud and it showers.
All the colors, as a rainbow appears when
a storm cloud is touched by the sun.
All the colors abound for the whole world
around and for ev'ryone under the sun.

All the colors, yes, the colors of people
parading on by with their banners.
All the colors, yes, the colors of pennants
and streamers and plumes and bandannas.
All the colors, yes, the colors of people
now taking their place in the sun.
All the colors abound for the whole world
around and for ev'ryone under the sun.

All the colors, yes, the black and the white
and the red and the brown and the yellow.
All the colors, all the colors of people
who smile and shake hands and say "Hello"!
All the colors, yes, the colors of people
who know that their freedom is won.
All the colors abound for the whole world
around and for ev'ryone under the sun.
