Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
es particular,
cuando llueve se moja
como los demás.
Agáchate
y vuélvete a agachar,
que los agachaditos
H, I, J, K,
L, M, N, A
que si tú no me quieres,
otra amiga me querrá.
H, I, J, K,
L, LL, M, O,
que si tú no me quieres,
otro amigo tendré yo.
Chocolate, molinillo
corre, corre, que te pillo.
A estirar, a estirar,
que el demonio va a pasar.
El patio de mi casa
es particular,
cuando llueve se moja
como los demás.
Agáchate
y vuélvete a agachar,
que los agachaditos
no saben bailar.
H, I, J, K,
L, LL,M, A,
que si tú no me quieres,
otra amiga me querrá.
H, I, J, K,

Chocolate, molinillo
corre, corre, que te pillo.
A estirar, a estirar,
que el demonio va a pasar.
The song "El Patio De Mi Casa" by Grupo Encanto is a playful and whimsical Spanish children's song that describes the singer's courtyard as unique. The patio is particular, just like the rest of them, it gets wet when it rains, and the singer asks the listener to duck down and then stand back up again because "the ducks don't know how to dance." The next verse spells out the letters of the alphabet and, suggests that if the listener doesn't want the singer as a friend, then someone else will.
The song goes on to mention a game of tag, a popular children's activity, using the words "chocolate, molinillo" to indicate the start of the game, and encouraging everyone to run and stretch so that they can avoid the devil that will come their way. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus and the letters of the alphabet mentioned in the beginning, showing that the meaning is not particularly profound, but rather it is a fun and inclusive song that invites children to play together and enjoy life.
