La manitas, Pla-pla-plá,
Digo sí, digo no,
Este corro sigo yo.
Con los hombros, Co-co-có
Con los codos, Tom-tom-tom,
Digo sí, digo no,
Las orejas, Plom-plom-plom,
Las mejillas, Tum-tum-tum,
Digo sí, digo no,
Este corro sigo yo.
Cabecita, Plam-plam-plam,
Los deditos, Plim-plim-plim,
Digo sí, digo no,
Este corro sigo yo.

The song 'Piececitos' is a Spanish nursery rhyme that is often sung by children while playing a game of 'el corro de la patata' (the potato game). In this game, children stand in a circle holding hands while singing the song and performing actions in time with the music. The lyrics of the song describe different body parts and their movements, such as "piececitos" (little feet), "manitas" (little hands), "hombros" (shoulders), "orejas" (ears), "mejillas" (cheeks), and "cabecita" (little head), and the actions associated with them.
The song is repetitive and has a simple melody, making it easy for young children to learn and sing along to. It encourages physical activity and coordination, as children move different body parts in time with the music. The lyrics also promote decision-making skills as children repeat the phrase "digo sí, digo no" (I say yes, I say no) throughout the song.
Overall, 'Piececitos' is a cheerful and playful song that has become a staple in Spanish-speaking countries for generations.
