Video of the Week: La Granja de mi Tío

September 1, 2009, posted by Ana Lilian

I definitely run the risk of sounding naive, BUT I really had no idea how to sing “Old MacDonald had a Farm” in Spanish.  My girl’s been singing it a lot lately and I really wanted to teach her the Spanish version (even though really the only part she sings for now is “E-I-E-I-O”).  I found it on You Tube, of course.

The Spanish version is callled “La Granja de mi Tío” and it´s just as catchy as the English original.  The video is not the best quality, but we´re going for the song here!  Maybe I´m not the only one making up the lyrics in Spanish.

    Thank you for the video. My son really liked it!!!

  2. I just watched the video with baby Audrey (twice)…she loved it, clapping and dancing!

    Thanks!

    Cool! Thanks for sharing. We have been singing it a different way. We have the Baby Einstein Neighborhood Animals which we always watch in Spanish. They sing old MacDonald on there in a catchy way..but definitely different than this version! Speaking of videos…..I love how practically all Disney videos have a Spanish track with high quality Spanish recordings!

    I´m glad you all liked the video and the song!
    @Amy–you´re right about the Disney videos. The Spanish tracks are always so well executed. They´re especially fun when you can recognize the actors doing the voices.

    Don’ t feel bad. I also had no idea. In fact, in one of our many Spanish CD’s there is a song called la granja de mi tio, but it is sang very differently.
