Bambino, Bambina by Roy Jerden

Bambino, bambino, bambino Born in San Bernadino In a manger of hay One fine Christmas day That's why they call him El Niño Bambina, bambina, bambina Born in a little cantina And maybe some day You'll join the ballet And be a sweet ballerina March 17, 2013

I see you have also mastered limericks my friend...Love it Roy! Haven't taken Spanish since the 8th grade but Lemmie take a shot...'Bambino'or 'El Nino' is the boy Christ? Bambina is the feminine, right?...How cool that you made her a ballerina! (maybe a Spanish angel ballerina?)...Anyway, I always look forward to reading your poetry - Tim

Bambino is Italian for baby boy, Bambina likewise for baby girls. I just liked the sound and it's easy to say. You are correct about El Niño being the Christ child in Spanish. I wanted something kids would like to have read to them, both boys and girls.
