De Colores in English

 

De Colores, De Colores the fields love to dress in all during the springtime.
De Colores, De Colores the birds have their clothing that comes every season.
De Colores, De Colores the rainbow is vested across the blue sky.

Chorus:
De Colores, and so must all love be of every bright color to make my heart cry. (repeat)

De Colores, De Colores we witness the sun-up on clear and bright mornings.
De Colores, De Colores the sun gives its treasures God's light to God's children.
De Colores, De Colores the diamond will sparkle when brought to the light
 
Joyfully, joyfully
we will live in God's friendship
because He has willed it.

Faithfully, faithfully
we will slake the great thirsting
of Christ the immortal.

Joyfully, joyfully
we will bring to our Savior
a harvest of souls
pouring outward the light from within
The grace of our God His infinite Life. (repeat)

Missionaries, missionaries
of Christ with His courage
determined to conquer.
Cursillistas, cursillistas
who don't pay attention
to human opinion.

Let the cowards, let the cowards
deride us and taunt us
but it is the truth
that they really desire the pleasure
of being in grace in colors with us (repeat)

Sings the rooster, sings the rooster
with his quiri, quiri,
quiri, quiri, quiri.

And the cluck-hen, and the cluck-hen
with her cara, cara,
cara, cara, cara.

And the babe-chicks, and the babe-chicks
with their pio, pio, pio, pio, pi.
 

De Colores, and so must all love be of every bright color to make my heart cry. (repeat)

De Colores, de Colores
se visten los campos en la primavera.
De Colores, de Colores
son los parjaritos que vienen de'afuera.
De Colores, de Colores
es el arco iris que vemos lucir.

Y por eso los grandes amores
de muchos Colores me gustan a mi,
Y por eso los grandes amores
de muchos Colores me gustan a mi.

De Colores, de Colores
brillantes y finos se viste la'aurora.
De Colores, de Colores
son los mil reflejos que'el sol atesora,
De Colores, de Colores
se viste'el diamante que vemos lucir,

Y por eso . . .

Jubilosos, Jubilosos
vivamos en gracia puesto que se puede.
Saciaremos, saciaremos
la sed ardorosa del Rey que no muere.
Jubilosos, jubilosos
llevmos a Christo un alma'y mil mas.

Difundiendo la Luz que'ilumina
La gracia divina del gran ideal
Difundiendo la Luz que'ilumina
La gracia divina del gran ideal.

Canta'el gallo, canta'el gallo
con el kiri-kiri kiri-kiri kiri
la gallina, la gallina
con el cara-cara cara-cara cara,
los polluelos, los polluelos
con el pio-pio pio-pio pio pi,

Y por eso los grandes amores
de muchas colores me gustan a mi,
Y por eso los gandes amores
de muchas colores me gustan a mi.

Viva - por Cristo !
