Eeenie, Meenie, Minie, Mo...
How do you say this in Spanish?
|
You say pinto, pinto ,gorgorito... but I don't know how to continue. I'm sure Alfonso will be able to help you.

I had to think about it for a minute before I could even remember the full version in English: :D
Eeny, meeny, miny, moeIn Spanish there's a few different versions Pito, pito, gorgorito, Pinto, pinto, gorgorito,Pero está mejor la de Cuba: Tin Marín de Dos PingüéIn Mexico, it starts out with "something.. de don Pingüé" but I can't remember. The Wikipedia page also has more info. |

Pinto pinto, gorgorito, en qué lugar está el lunar en qué calleja la morajeja esconde la mano que viene la vieja. It's really important when you get to la vieja you start tickling the human being you have over your knees.:rolleyes: |
The one I knew was the second one you wrote. You brought my childhood back to me... sweet:D!

And in answer to your question, because you know everything...:rolleyes: (roll eyes) |
To count? I have never used this to count. We, my family, my brothers and sisters, used it to tickle each other. What kind of childhood did you have? ;)
|
In English we used this to count off in a circle of friends to pick one of us to do something (start a game, be the leader etc.)
|
A nice one, mate. If you are playing a game and you want to know,e.g. who is out, you go eenie, meenie... Or if you want to divide people into two teams... I didn't mean count for your maths class.

I wish there was a way to know the beat to these rhymes (the Spanish ones, that is). I have no sense of rhythm whatsoever :(. Is there anywhere I could hear them, online perhaps? :D
