De Colores #305

words by David Arkin, Traditional Spanish folk music

1 All the colors, yes, the colors we see in the springtime with all of its flowers.

All the colors, when the sunlight shines out through a rift in the cloud and it showers.

All the colors, as a rainbow appears when a storm cloud is touched by the sun.

(Chorus) All the colors abound for the whole world around and for ev’ryone under the sun.

2 All the colors, yes, the colors of people parading on by with their banners.

All the colors, yes, the colors of pennants and streamers and plumes and bandannas.

All the colors, yes, the colors of people now taking their place in the sun.

(Chorus)

3 All the colors, yes, the black and the white and the red and the brown and the yellow.

All the colors, all the colors of people who smile and shake hands and say “Hello!”

All the colors, yes, the colors of people who know that their freedom is won.

(Chorus)

1. De colores, de colores se visten los campos en la primavera.

De colores, de colores son los pajaritos que vienen de a fuera.

De colores, de colores es al arco iris que vemos lucir.

You por eso los grandes amores de muchos colores me gustan a mi.
