This is Big
This is big, big, big,
This is small, small, small,
This is short, short, short,
This is tall, tall, tall,
This is fast, fast, fast,
This is slow, slow, slow,
This is yes, yes, yes,
This is no, no, no!
Esto es grandote
¡Esto es grandote, ote, ote!
¡Y pequeñito, ito, ito!
¡Esto es altote, ote, ote!
¡Y bajito, ito, ito!
¡Esto veloz, oz, oz!
¡Y despacito, ito, ito!
¡Esto es sí, sí, sí!
¡Y esto es no, no, no!
We found the English version of this song on Mel’s Desk, and decided to translate it since it’s lots of fun and great for teaching opposites. To keep the same rhythm in the Spanish version we used -ote and -ito, that way also bring in the suffixes we use to quantify and qualify adjectives in Spanish.
