Duérmete, Mi Niño
El Muñeco Pin Pón|El Muñeco Pin Pón
This playful song describes a doll made of cardboard who washes his face with soap and water. In various versions, the words are slightly different. The first line can also be sung, "Pin Pón es un muñeco, muy guapo y de cartón," "Pin Pón es un muñeco muy grande y de cartón" or "Pin Pón es un muñeco con manos de cartón."
Los Pollitos Dicen
Perhaps one of the most famous children's songs in Spanish, "Los Pollitos Dicen" tells the story of baby chicks who chirp when they're hungry or cold and the mother hen who feeds them and warms them up before putting them to bed.

Arrorro Mi Niño|Arrorro Mi Niño
The onomatopoeic sound of the word "arrorró" is meant to soothe the baby asleep, that's why you see it repeated in so many lullabies. In "Arrorró Mi Niño" the child is sweetly called, "my sun" and "piece of my heart." Spanish terms of endearment are so very nice, aren't they?
