I remember this one when Big Bird conducts the marriachi band. Amazing that a girl was singing in Spanish, and a boy was translating in English! Keep this posted! ;-)

@Whoever asked me to post SS episodes-I don't own any :( I was about 6 or 7 when I watched SS so, of course, I didn't know much about how to operate a VCR

MarshalGrover, please upload Sesame Street Wish You Were Here: New York City.

[Miketheyoutubization]

MarshalGrover, please upload Sesame Street 2123 Episode, So I can hear Gordon explaining that Miles isn't old enough to go places by himself.

[Vook]

Rough translation I got from listening to the girl:

I'm purely Mexican, born in this home, on this beautiful earth, which is a pretty nation.

And to dear Mexico, her lakes and mountains, today I sing this song.

Long live Mexico! Long live America! Two homes blessed by God!

Long live Mexico! Long live America! I'll always say it in a loud voice!

Would there happen to be any native speakers watching who might be able to check me?... :)

[MiltownPunkette21]

@Vook-Actually I think what the boy soloist sings in English after the girl soloist is the rough translation of the lyrics.

[Veracidad1990]

@MiltownPunkette21 yeah, not really...

[DanaAbel30]

I know Spanish, and believe it or not, you have everything right on the nose.

[kdcbb]

they f*cking suck.

[Deokishisu]

I always knew Big Bird was cool but this brings his coolness to a whole new level.

[MiltownPunkette21]

Just as a light correction, Marshal: "Mariachi" is with one "i", dear :-) Awesome post though

[djs9108]

You mean one "r"

[MiltownPunkette21]

Ha, yep! Thanks for spotting. I must have been pretty tired when I posted that comment

[rishanaidu15]

u suck eggs

[DanaAbel30]

I love Mariachi music. There's just something about it that just makes you feel so alive and free. Know what I mean??

[RealTime88]

I couldn't agree more!! I've heard this song many many times and it is really uplifting. I like seeing Big Bird's many travels.

[DanaAbel30]

It reminds me of my time down in Mexico. Definitely one of the friendliest countries in the world.

[nerdelicious5]

That was cool!

[chowder707]

Vivia bigbird? Isn't that a paper towl? Are  you selling them? or something?

[Vook]

I always thought this song was lovely. I loved the nationalism; the line "we'll never be too far apart" has always been with me.

Oh, and now that I speak Spanish, I tried to pick up on the words the girl sang, but I didn't get them all. They're not a translation of the English lyrics the boy sang afterwards.

[ichbineinfreidenker]

la ninya canta tan bonita! muchas gracias!

[broadwaymike92]

The Girl who sings first on the Flute is incredible.

[GamestLink]

Thanks fot the great memory of my brother on trumpet and cousin! That's my cousin singing! Sec 1/2

[broadwaymike92]

[GamestLink]

No, the boy on the voilin. My sister is one of the dancers.(I think)
