Song of the Week

Buenos días ya salió el sol

Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón

Buenas noches, la luna salió

Muchas estrellitas, luceros de amor

Estrellas, planetas

Luna y sol

Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor

Rhymes

El sol tiene frío

No quiere salir

Oculto entre las nubes

Se ha puesto a dormir
