Los Cochinitos and the Internet
Growing up, I have a clear memory of my mom singing a lullaby to my brother, sister and I. I didn’t know the name or the lyrics. I just had the melody and a line about mom putting her three piglets to bed.
I had a flashback to the tune when putting Nico to bed the other day. And, thanks to the Internet, I found the it. There are even videos on YouTube.
The song, Los Cochinitos Dormilones, is a Mexican version of the three little pigs, from 1935. Mommy pig puts them to sleep and they start to snore and dream. Once dreams of being king, another a sailor and the third dreams of helping mom.
You can read the lyrics here and hear more music from Cri-Cri, the singing cricket here.
