[English]

Let's sing the words, little words.

Some are big and others are tiny.

Let's sing the words, little words,

some are big and others are tiny.

The car has wheels, big ones and little ones.

The sea has waves, the sky has little stars.

The cow gives milk, the sheep gives wool.

The moon comes at night, the sun comes in the morning.

The fish has bones, the meat has bones.

My apple has many seeds.

My body dances, my voice sings.

I see with my eyes, my voice comes from my throat.

Let's sing the words, little words.

Some are big and others are tiny.

Let's sing the words, little words,

some are big and others are tiny.

The rain has drops, the bee makes honey.

Flowers have colors that I paint with my brush.

The bread makes crumbs that I will scatter.

The attic has other trinkets used for playing.

The pencil has a tip, the book has a story.

I like to play memory games.

The house has a door, the roof has a chimney.

I wave with my hand and walk with my feet.

Let's sing the words, little words.

Some are big and others are tiny.

Let's sing the words, little words,

some are big and others are tiny.

The shoe has a sole, the shirt has a button.

Let's go to the party where there is fun.

My stomach rumbles when I want to eat.

With bread and cheese, making dough again.

The airplane flies, the boat goes on the sea.

The dog barks while the cat meows.

I love learning just as much as saying words.

Let's sing the words, little words.

Some are big and others are tiny.

[Portuguese]

Vamos cantar as palavras, palavrinhas.

Umas são grandes e outras pequeninas.

Vamos cantar as palavras, palavrinhas,

umas são grandes e outras pequeninas.

O carro tem rodas, a trote e rodinhas.

O mar tem ondas, o céu tem estrelinhas.

A vaca dá leite, a ovelha lã.

A noite vem a lua, o sol vem de manhã.

O peixe tem espinhas, a carne tem ossos.

A minha maçã tem muitos caroços.

Meu corpo dança, a minha voz canta.

Vejo com os olhos, a voz sai pela garganta.

Vamos cantar as palavras, palavrinhas.

Umas são grandes e outras pequeninas.

Vamos cantar as palavras, palavrinhas,

umas são grandes e outras pequeninas.

A chuva tem gotas, a abelha dá o mel.

As flores têm cores que pinto com o pincel.

O pão faz migalhas que vou espalhar.

O sótão outras tralhas que servem pra brincar.

O lápis tem ponta, o livro tem história.

Gosto de jogar jogos de memória.

A casa tem porta, o telhado chaminé.

Aceno com a mão e ando com o pé.

Vamos cantar as palavras, palavrinhas.

Umas são grandes e outras pequeninas.

Vamos cantar as palavras, palavrinhas,

umas são grandes e outras pequeninas.

O sapato tem sola, a camisa tem botão.

Vamos pra festa onde há diversão.

A barriga ronca quando quero comer.

Com pão e queijo, massas de refazer.

O avião voa, o barco vai no mar.

O cão ladra quando o gato a miar.

Gosto tanto de aprender como as palavras dizer.

Vamos cantar as palavras, palavrinhas.

Umas são grandes e outras pequeninas.
