De Colores in English

All in colors, all in colors the fields love to dress in all during the springtime.
All in colors, all in colors the birds have their clothing that comes every season.
All in colors, all in colors the rainbow is vested across the blue sky.

Refrain :
All in colors, and so must all love be of every bright color to make my heart cry. (repeat)

All in colors, all in colors we witness the sun up on clear and bright mornings.
All in colors, all in colors the sun gives its teasures God's light to His children.
All in colors, all in colors the diamond will sparkle when brought to the light
Refrain

Joyfully, joyfully
we will live in God's friendship
because He has willed it.
Faithfully, faithfully
we will slake the great thirsting
of Christ the immortal.
Joyfully, joyfully
we will bring to our Savior
a harvest of souls
pouring outward the light from within
The grace of our God His infinite Life. (repeat)

Missionaries, missionaries
of Christ with His courage
determined to conquer.
Cursillistas, cursillistas
who don't pay attention
to human opinion.
Let the cowards, let the cowards
deride us and taunt us
but it is the truth
that they really desire the pleasure
of being in grace in colors with us (repeat)

Sings the rooster, sings the rooster
with his quiri, quiri,
quiri, quiri, quiri,
And the cluck-hen, and the cluck-hen
with her cara, cara,
cara, cara, cara.
And the babe-chicks, and the babe-chicks
with their pio, pio, pio, pio, pi.
Refrain

De Colores, living colors embrace all of nature with love in the springtime,
De Colores, living colors adorn all the birdies that fly day and nighttime,
De Colores, living colors envelope the rainbow in heavens above,
That's the reason I like all the colors that brighten
the life of the things that I love ! (repeat)

De Colores, living colors so brilliant and subtle that greet every morning,
De Colores, living colors as graceful and peaceful as God's shining love,
That's the reason I like all the colors that brighten
the life of the things that I love ! (repeat)

We are joyful, we are joyful in God's loving grace, and that's why we sing,
We are happy, we are happy because we are subjects of Christ our King,
We are cheeful, we are cheerful and take our gladness to each faithful soul,
Radiating the truth that enlightens and brightens
the way to our life's supreme goal ! (repeat)

Crows the rooster, crows the rooster with his kiri-kiri, kiri, kiri-kiri,
And the cluck-hen, and the cluck-hen with her kara-kara, kara, kara-kara,
And the babe-chicks, and the babe-chicks with their pio-ppio, pio, pio-pi,
That's the reason I like all the clors that brighten
the ;ife of the things that I love ! (repeat)

De Colores from Neerkol
Verses supplied by Frenchville's Frogs Reunion Group
Faithfully Reaching Out in God's Service

Sprigs of wattle, sprigs of wattle burst forth
In their yellows and golds in the springtime,
Bougainvillea, see it sprawling around
As it covers the ground like God's glory
So the insects, so the insects flit down,
Blue, red, orange, and brown; filled with life.

De Colores, the rainbow of Queensland,
The gifts our Creator gave into our care. (repeat)
Hooray !

Kangaroos, bounding late in the day
In their great mobs of grey and of red,
And the reptiles, and the reptiles that slide,
Hop or glide in the green blady grass.
Dancing brolgas, making praise in the morning,
Rejoicing with pink underwing.

Hallelujah ! The loving and giving,
The colors are singing to make our hearts dance. (repeat)
Hooray !

Waterfalls, waterfalls rushing downwards
To silver the rocks with their essence.
Golden beaches, golden beaches alive
With the joy and the laughter of children.
See the desert, where the sands with their ochres
Are blown by the wind of God's love.

De Colores, the rainbow of Queensland,
The gifts our Creator gave into our care. (repeat)
Hooray !

"The Lost Verses of De Colores"

Oh, the calories, the calories we see when
we're happily camping with pasta;
Oh the colors, the colors we see when
pajama and wine both catch fire;
Oh, the colors of gasoline, iris,
vermin and lace;
And posses of grandmas
and movies,
we all find quite groovy,
so gutsy are we !

Drinking Gallo, drinking Gallo makes us ast
queerly, queerly, queerly, queerly;
Oh that Gallo, that Gallo makes us gag
cara, cara, cara, cara, cara,
The aroma, the aroma makes us go
pee-o, pee-o, pee-o, pee-o, pee;
And posses of grandmas
and movies,
we all find quite groovy,
so gutsy are we !

Sing the chorus, sing the chorus
Because no one can really remember the verses,
Sing the chorus, sing the chorus
cause what rhymes in Spanish does not rhyme in English.
Sing the chorus, sing the chorus
Because all the words never really seem to fit.
Sing the chorus and clap your hands loudly and
No-one will notice you really don't know it !
Sing the chorus and clap your hands loudldy and
No-one will notice you really don't know it !
