"Mi Comunidad"

Español

Mi comunidad, mi comunidad,
tiene muchos ayudantes que trabajan sin parar

En mi comunidad hay unas personas muy especiales. ¡Les voy a contar acerca de ellos!

Cuando hay que apagar el fuego
¡es una emergencia!
Pronto vienen los bomberos
¿oyes la sirena?

Cuando voy a la escuela
¡cruza la calle con cuidado!
Hay una guardia que me espera
¡ella detiene los carros!

¿Los bomberos, la guardia de cruce, qué otros ayudantes hay en nuestra comunidad?

Mi comunidad, mi comunidad,
tiene muchos ayudantes que trabajan sin parar

Cuando te mandan una carta
¡es de mi abuelo!
¿Quién te la lleva a la puerta?
¡Fue el cartero!

Cuando yo estoy enferma
¡siento dolor!
Me cuida la enfermera
¡ya estoy mejor!

Mi comunidad, mi comunidad,
tiene muchos ayudantes que trabajan sin parar

Hay muchos ayudantes de la comunidad,
como el conductor de bus, que nos lleva a muchos lugares.
¡También está mi maestra! Ella me ayuda en la escuela.
¡Gracias a los ayudantes de la comunidad!

English

My community, my community
It has many helpers who are always at work

In my community there are very special people. I'm going to tell you about them

When we have to put out the fire
It’s an emergency
Firefighters are coming soon
Do you hear the siren?

When I go to school
Cross the street carefully
There is a guard waiting for me
She stops the cars

Firefighters, the crossing guard… what other helpers are there in our community?

My community, my community
It has many helpers who are always at work

When someone sends you a letter
It's from my grandma
Who brings it to your door?
The mail carrier

When I’m sick
Or I’m hurt
The nurse takes care of me
I'm feeling better

My community, my community
It has many helpers who are always at work

There are many community helpers
Like the bus driver, who takes us many places
There is also my teacher! She helps me at school
Thanks, community helpers

123 Andrés are Andrés and Christina, the Latin Grammy-winning duo with catchy songs and a high-energy show in Spanish and English that gets kids and families singing and dancing.

Their songs and videos are used in early childhood and elementary classrooms across the United States and abroad, and they have delighted live audiences in the United States, Puerto Rico, Panama, Mexico, and Colombia, at venues including Lollapalooza (Chicago), Kennedy Center (Washington, DC), Symphony Space (NYC), and the Coliseo in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Andrés grew up in Bogotá, Colombia, and learned how to play the guitar from his father as a child. He studied clarinet at the Conservatory and had his first studio experience at age eight. He went on to earn a doctorate in music and won first prize in the National Composition Contest in Colombia for one of his early songs.

Christina was raised in the United States in a Spanish-speaking family hailing from Colombia, and studied theater and dance as a child. After serving as a classroom teacher in public schools and earning a Master’s in Education from the University of Pennsylvania, she found her mission teaching through music.

123 Andrés maintains an active calendar of live concerts and joy-filled shows for student and family audiences that get everyone singing, moving, and learning. Their first children’s book, due out August 2020, is being published by Scholastic. They also have four acclaimed CDs under their belts.
