This song is available on Elise Carr Sumner's ¡Viva La Musica!

This song practices "gustar (to like)" in the present tense. The English translation is below.

A ellos les gustan los lagos
No les gusta el mar
Allá están nerviosos
¿Un tiburón los va a cenar?

Coro:
Nos gustan distintas cosas
Sí, es verdad
Somos diferentes
Lo podemos apreciar

Me gusta un coche bonito
No lo puedo comprar
Me falta el dinero
Y no me gusta trabajar

A Juan le gusta el postre
Sólo lo quiere comer
«Juan, toma más verduras.»
Insiste siempre su mujer

Translation: WE LIKE DIFFERENT THINGS

They like lakes
They don't like the sea
There they are nervous
Is a shark going to have them for supper?

Chorus:
We like different things
Yes, it's true
We are different
We can appreciate it

I like a pretty car
I'm not able to buy it
I lack the money
And I don't like to work

Juan likes dessert
He only wants to eat it
"Juan, eat more vegetables"
His wife always insists
