Lyrics
(spanish)

Qué linda manito que tengo yo,
qué linda y blanquita que Dios me dio
Qué lindos ojitos que tengo yo,
qué lindos y negritos que Dios me dio
Qué linda boquita que tengo yo,
qué linda y rojita que Dios me dio
Qué lindas patitas que tengo yo,
qué lindas y gorditas que Dios me dio

(english translation)
What a pretty little hand have I,
How pretty and white this that God gave me.
What pretty little eyes have I,
How pretty and black these that God gave me.
What a pretty little mouth have I,
How pretty and red this that God gave me.
What pretty little feet have I,
How pretty and chubby these that God gave me.

@TheMindCorp I can assure you she's Colombian. She's from Bogota. And we use both.

[iSPaLiTo]

the word "Mano" is femenine although it's ended "-o" so it's used "la mano, las manos, LA MANITA, LAS MANITAS"

The way that she said "manito" extending the irregularity to the diminutive form it's tipically mexican

[iSPaLiTo]

@eriasada3 it's not french but spanish, american spanish, provably mexican by the use of the word "manito"

[chanelzorro]

@eriasada3 It means: "Pretty little hands that I have, How Pretty and how white that God gave me.. Pretty little eyes that I have, How Pretty and black that God gave me.. Pretty Little mouth that I have, How Pretty and red that God gave me.. Pretty Little feet that I have, How pretty and chubby that God gave me.. "

@SingMeAnElla Colombianos don't use patas as the word for legs they use piernas....

[eriasada3]

this is stuck in my head...i just wonder what is she saying, cuz i can't speak French:(

gosh...i hav to study!

Could somebody kindly put the translation in English?

merci!

[SingMeAnElla]

@einabe In Colombia, the "y" is pronounced like a "j". Because Catalina is Colombian, she has this accent. Therefore, "yo" is pronounced "jo".

[einabe]

why does she sing jo instead of yo?
