Gonna Give It Back
I went to the garden and I found a worm,
and I put it in a jar.
I thought I'd take it outside for a walk
but it wouldn't go far
I asked my mom can we take it for a drive
but it didn't like the car.
So, I'm gonna give it back,
gonna give it back,
gonna give it back to nature.
I felt like I might wanna take a swim
but the worm didn't like the water
I try to keep it with me all day long
but _______ said it wasn't cool.
I found a ball to play catch with it
but my dad said no, that's cruel! SPLAT!
So, I'm gonna give it back,
gonna give it back,
gonna give it back to nature.
(Wormy dance)
Brought it on down to the post office
but it didn't fit in a letter.
It seemed my worm was awfully cold
so I put it in my sweater.
I took it to the desert but they say
worms like it wetter.
So, I'm gonna give it back,
gonna give it back,
gonna give it back to nature.
LA CHATA (CHORDS A, E7, D)
Alegres se ven los campos
por la mañana del mes de abril,
y aún se ven más alegres
si mi ranchera anda por ahí.
Cuando paso por el puente
siempre lavando la he de encontrar
y a la orillita del río
me siento con ella a platicar.
Ay chatita de mi vida
no me vayas a olvidar
que si Dios me da licencia
contigo me he de casar.
Yo te llevo pa' mi rancho,
y te pongo tu jacal,
y una vez los dos solitos
¡Ya verás lo que es gozar!
Adiós chata de mi vida
me voy pero a luego yo volveré,
ya sabes donde te espero,
no se te olvide salirme a ver.
Me voy para el rancho chata
donde he nacido, y de donde soy,
no pierdo las esperanzas
que allá muy pronto
iremos los dos.
Ay chatita de mi vida
no me vayas a olvidar
que si Dios me da licencia
contigo me he de casar.
Yo te llevo pa' mi rancho,
y te pongo tu jacal,
y una vez los dos solitos
¡Ya verás lo que es gozar!
(Sing the coro one more time)
CIELITO LINDO
Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran, cielito lindo, los corazones
De la Sierra Morena, cielito lindo, vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros, cielito lindo, de contrabando
Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran, cielito lindo, los corazones
Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo, junto a la boca
No se lo des a nadie, cielito lindo, que a mí me toca
Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran, cielito lindo, los corazones
Ay no llores y quita quita quita los dolores (4X)

Cajas de Carton
Verse: La Frontera, papa always spoke of,
La Frontera, the mystery would unfold,
We left our village, El Rancho Blanco,
When I was just four years old.
Yo, Papa, mama, and Roberto,
Took a bus to Guadalajara,
From there we took a train two days and nights,
Then crawled under the wire to California.
Chorus: We are a migrant family,
We move from place to place,
Cardboard boxes we carry,
The circuit we embrace,
From cotton, to grapes, to strawberries,
Harvest guides our way,
A child will write their stories someday.
Verse: Often when my family was working,
I cared for Trampita in the car,
Once, when he was sleeping, I went outside,
To practice picking cotton, not too far.
Mama was so angry when she found him,
The diaper, sour milk, and broken glass,
If I hadn’t added dirt to my cotton pile,
Papa may have given me a pass.
Chorus:
Es la vida de migrante,
Seguimos su compas,
La cosecha va adelante
Y corrimos detrás,
De viñedos, a fresales,
A campos del algodón
Relatos entre cajas de cartón.
Verse: From Corcoran to Santa Maria,
We moved when the cotton season was complete,
We started school late in January,
While living in Tent City on Main Street.
It was difficult not knowing any English,
Speaking Spanish was against the rule,
Art was my very, favorite time of day,
A caterpillar helped me get through school.
Chorus: We are a migrant family,
We move from place to place,
Cardboard boxes we carry,
The circuit we embrace,
From cotton, to grapes, to strawberries,
Harvest guides our way,
A child will write their stories someday.
Verse: Roberto was my oldest brother,
Trampita, the one born after me.
Then came Torito, Ruben, and Rora,
8 of us in our family.
But came the day that we would be deported,
La Migra took me from my middle school,
We could only hope that a time would come,
When life would turn out not to be so cruel.
Chorus:
Es la vida de migrante,
Seguimos su compas,
La cosecha va adelante
Y corrimos detrás,
De viñedos, a fresales,
A campos del algodón
Relatos entre cajas de cartón.
We are a migrant family,
We move from place to place,
Cardboard boxes we carry,
The circuit we embrace,
From cotton, to grapes, to strawberries,
Harvest guides our way,
A child will write their stories someday.
We will write our stories someday.
Huerta Rally Call
Drums pound out the rhythm.
One class leads the call in Spanish.
The rest of the school responds.
The call is repeated with English translation.
The call closes with everyone saying
"!Si, se puede, Dolores Huerta,
Yes, we can at Dolores Huerta!" (one time only)
!Buenos Dias, Dolores Huerta!
!Buenos Dias, Dolores Huerta!
?Quienes somos, Dolores Huerta?
?Quienes somos, Dolores Huerta?
!Juntos somos mas fuertes!
!Juntos somos mas fuertes!
!Si, se puede, Dolores Huerta!
!Si, se puede, Dolores Huerta!
Good Morning to Dolores Huerta!
Good Morning to Dolores Huerta!
Who are we at Dolores Huerta?
Who are we at Dolores Huerta?
Strong together, Dolores Huerta!
Strong together, Dolores Huerta!
"Yes we can" at Dolores Huerta!
"Yes we can" at Dolores Huerta!
"Si se puede," Dolores Huerta.
"Yes we can," Dolores Huerta!"
Line 3 Options (Based on ideas shared by Dolores)
!We believe we have the power!
!Creemos que tenemos el poder!
We are all one big family!
!Todos somos una familia!
We are all one human race!
!Todos somos una raza humana!
We are all activists!
!Todos somos activistas!
Said Dolores
When shadows are cast on our spirit,
And they try to strike fear in our heart,
Remember the power within us all,
To light our own way from the start,
And pave a vision forward,
With the strength of collective will,
To meet the needs of our children,
By shining our light on Capitol Hill,
"Si se puede," said Dolores,
Long before Obama,
But her fortitude and independence,
Could be a credit to her mama,
Who owned a large hotel,
In the Central California Valley,
Where she sheltered farm workers,
When they were short on food and money,
Imagine the day when all children walk,
Without holes in their shoes,
Imagine the day the workers sing,
When songs of joy resolve the Blues,
Si se puede, si se puede,
Said Dolores, si se puede,
Long before Obama,
Yes we can!
(repeat)
At home, church, and at school,
She was quick to volunteer,
A Girl Scout and a majorette,
To Dolores it was clear,
Change can only come,
When we look to our own hand,
And claim the value,
That we bring to this land,
Dolores, Larry, and Cesar,
Formed the U.F.W.,
With the help of many others,
Soon the labor movement grew,
As people began to realize,
With the food upon their table,
There were countless workers,
Hidden behind each label,
Imagine the day when all children walk,
Without holes in their shoes,
Imagine the day the workers sing,
When songs of joy resolve the Blues,
Si se puede, si se puede,
Said Dolores, si se puede,
Long before Obama,
Yes we can!
(repeat)

Cerca del Mar
Cerca del mar
yo me enamoré
y como la luna,
la brisa y la espuma
también te besé.
La noche azul,
noche tropical
comprendió mis penas
y entre sus arenas
yo pude soñar.
El mar nos arrulló
pensando en nuestro amor.
Y al despertar de aquella ilusión
un beso nos dimos y en el beso unimos
tu amor y mi amor.
El mar nos arrulló
pensando en nuestro amor.
Y al despertar de aquella ilusión
un beso nos dimos y en el beso unimos
tu amor y mi amor,
tu amor y mi amor.
La Raspa
Tu ma, tu ma, tu ma,
tu máquina de coser.
La tu, la tu, la tu,
la tuya es de tejer. (2x)
Ay mamá no voy pa' la escuela
porque tengo dolor de muela.
Ay papá no voy pa'l salón
porque tengo sarampión.
Los Barandales del Puente
Los barandales del puente
se estremecen cuando paso,
morena mía dame un abrazo.
Dame tu mano morena
para subir al tranvía
que está cayendo la nieve fría.
Si está cayendo que caiga
y asómate a tu ventana,
morena mía, dueña de mi alma.
De todas a ti te quiero
de las demás a ninguna,
morena mía, luz de la luna.
De todas a ti te quiero,
de las demás no hago caso,
morena mía dame un abrazo.
Ya con ésta me despido
cortando flores de azahares,
aquí terminan los barandales.
No Volveré
Cuando lejos me encuentre de tí
cuando quieras que esté yo contigo
no hallarás ni un recuerdo de mi
ni tendrás más amores conmigo.
Yo te juro que no volveré
aunque me haga pedazos la vida
si una vez con locura te amé
ya de mi alma estarás despedida.
No volveré te lo juro por Dios que me mira
te lo digo llorando de rabia, no volveré.
No pararé hasta ver que mi llanto ha formado
un arroyo de olvido anegado,
donde yo tu recuerdo ahogaré.
Fuimos nubes que el viento apartó,
fuimos piedras que siempre chocamos,
gotas de agua que el sol resecó,
borracheras que no terminamos.
En el tren de la ausencia me voy,
mi boleto no tiene regreso
lo que tengas de mi te lo doy
pero no te devuelvo tus besos.
No volveré te lo juro por Dios que me mira
te lo digo llorando de rabia, no volveré.
No pararé hasta ver que mi llanto ha formado
un arroyo de olvido anegado,
donde yo tu recuerdo ahogaré.
