Story Behind The Song
Wanting to help children to learn Spanish, but not be pressured or stressed by songs completely in Spanish, I created a disc of 8 songs with a story threaded throughout the disc. I also did not want the parents to have to translate the song for the child
Song Description

Lyrics
Someone may ask you
2006Sandra Lewis
Que tiempo hace
Que tiempo hace
What?s the weather like?
Someone may ask you
And if someone asks
Que tiempo hace
Que tiempo hace
Here?s what you do..
if the if flakes are falling and they are blanco
blanco is Spanish for white
and if you say
Esta nevando
Then yes you got it right!
If the sky is dark and the color of gris
Gris is the color for gray
Then you will say Hace mal tiempo
The weather is bad today!
If the sky is bright and the color of azul
Azul is the color for blue
Then you will say hace buen tiempo
Great weather for me and you!
If the leaves are blowing round and round
And your hat flies off your head
Then you will say hace mucho viento
It?s a windy day instead!
Que tiempo hace
Que tiempo hace
What?s the weather like?
Someone may ask you
And if someone asks
Que tiempo hace
Que tiempo hace
Now you know what to do!
