Homes

A nest is a home for a bird,
and a hive is a home for a bee!
A hole is a home for a mouse,
and a house is a home for me!

A pond is a home for a frog,
and a forest is a home for a tree!
A cave is a home for a bear,
and a house is a home for me!

Hogares

La colmena es donde viven las abejas, 
Un nido es el hogar de un colibrí, 
El ratón vive dentro de un hoyo, 
¡Y una casa es un hogar para mi! 

Un estanque es donde vive la rana, 
Y el bosque es el hogar del jabalí, 
Una cueva es donde vive un oso, 
¡Y una casa es un hogar para mi! 

We found this song on The North Olympic Library system’s YouTube channel and loved it so much we had to translate it into Spanish! We added verses and changed around some of the animals to make it a little longer.

Note that we had to take some poetic licenses with colibrí and jabalí to maintain a rhyming structure. Colibrí translates to hummingbird, not bird. And jabalí is a wild boar, not a tree, but the hand motion is the same since they both live in forests.
