"Arbolito de Naranja" is a traditional song sung by children, especially girls, in Guayaquil, Ecuador, during group games.
Lyrics
Spanish
Arbolito de naranja,
Peinecito de marfil,
Para la niña más bonita
Del Colegio de Guayaquil.
La Chanita y la Juanita
Se fueron a cortar limones;
Encontraron el árbol seco
Y se dieron de topetones.
English translation
"A little orange tree,
A little ivory comb,
For the prettiest girl
Of Guayaquil High School.
Joanie and Janie
Went to pick limes;
They found the tree all dried up
So they butted heads instead."
