Popcorn Kernels

Popcorn kernels, popcorn kernels! 
In the pot, in the pot! 
Shake them, shake them, shake them!
Shake them, shake them, shake them! 
’Til they pop!
‘Til they pop! 

Palomitas

Palomitas, palomitas,
En la olla están, en la olla están.
¡Bate, bate, batelas!
¡Bate, bate, batelas!
¡Pin, pon, pan! 

We first encountered this scarf song on Jbrary. The first time we tried it in English we realized it was an instant classic so we translated it. To maintain the rhyme in Spanish we changed the grammatical structure of the second sentence (it would normally read: están en la olla) and used onomatopoeia for the sound of the pop.
