I may be wrong about the artist. I just know that there is a spanish song that my dad used to play when I was about 8 years old, back in 1994ish, and I used to love it because it had a rooster crow at the end. I am making a cd for my little sister, and she is really into all the music we used to listen to as kids, so I think she would love it. Please help!

Your in luck! I am dominican, living in DR ofcourse, this song is one of my favorites its Called "Ojala que Llueva Cafe" Translates to; (I wish it would rain Coffee in the country side) Circa 87-89 which might or not be in his album; Bachata Rosa. I dont know but its somewhere in that time period.\nFYI; his newest album is called "Para Ti" Translates to; (For you) a Cristian Themed\nAlbum which he made shortly after he became a evangelical cristian. \nNotable Songs in this Album\n"Para ti"\n"Soldado"\n"Avispas"\nAlso, 4:40 his band is named that way; because reportedly when they were rehearsing one day Juan Luis's brother was listening and remarked they should be called that way because in Music Terminology "4:40" is everything perfectly insynced! \nIts Starts Off;  (Portion)\nOJALA QUE LLUEVA CAFE\n\nOjalá que llueva café en el campo.\nQue caiga un aguacero de yuca y té.\nDel cielo una jarina de queso blanco\ny al sur una montaña de berro y miel.\nOh oh oh oh oh  ojalá que llueva café.\n\nOjalá que llueva café en el campo.\nPeinar una alto cerro e' trigo y mapuey.\nBajar por la colina de arroz graneado\ny continuá el arado con tu querer.\nOh oh oh oh oh\n\nOjalá el otoño en vez de hojas secas\nvista mi cosecha e' pitisalé.\nSembra' una llanura de batata y fresas,\nojalá que llueva café.

It's older than you think, if it's the same song.  Gypsy Rose Lee is credited with it, and she was performing something like 100 years ago!  It may not even have been original with her.

Hmmm....type the song into Google and I'm sure a page will come up that has the song on it. Eitherway, high schools almost ALWAYS play that song and I'm sure if you go to a high school, they'll be happy to lend/give you a copy of their Graduation CD's.

The author is unknown. One of those dear souls who wrote a song loved over the centuries and s/he goes totally unadorned for the creativity and talent.\n\nHere is what I found:\n\nWho wrote it? No one knows. But it’s been around for a long time. Although I couldn’t speak to its author, I could start with two facts. First, the twelve days are the period between the differing celebrations of Christmas—December 25 (in the Western church) and January 6 (in the Eastern church).\n\nSecond, people living when it was written commonly wrote, painted, and thought using symbols to express what they meant. All those birds and people are probably much more than they seem. (It certainly isn’t a coded list of significant biblical numbers. That probably confuses it with a similar song called “In Those Twelve Days”.) So I started looking. Here’s what I found.\n\nIn the Middle Ages birds were symbols of a human being, the soul, and each bird had specific associations. But the birds in the song had interesting Christian connections.\n\nThe partridge was always associated with Jesus’ birth. More than that, so was the pear tree. So the song begins with a double-image of the Nativity! \nSince I’m thinking of Jesus’ birth, “two turtle doves” brought to mind Jesus’ presentation at Mary’s purification (Luke 2:21-24) and the Spirit’s descent upon him after his baptism at the start of his public ministry (Luke 3:21-22). \n“French hens,” symbols of self-sacrifice and care, are reminiscent of Jesus’ role as the Good Shepherd to his own while he was among them. \n“Calling birds”? One author suggested it might originally be “colley birds,” that is, blackbirds. (Unfortunately I haven’t found anything on their symbolism…yet.) \nSince it’s Christmas, the “five gold rings” aren’t jewelry. Instead they remind us of golden ring-necked pheasants that were often associated with Nativity scenes (as can be seen in Fra Angelico’s Nativity) as well as a royalty (suggesting Jesus’ Messianic role) and the promise of life that rises from the ashes of death. \n“Geese” (whether white or gray) symbolized spiritual vigilance, avoidance of worldly pleasures, wholehearted devotion to Godly obedience. Sounds like Jesus again. \n“Seven swans” bring the opening series to a climax. Swans, always associated with royalty and prophecy, were thought to know the hour of their death and announce their death with a great cry (“swan song”), thereby earning them an enduring association with Christ’s work on the cross. Then add the biblical nuance of seven suggesting a completed work, and the connection to the cross is complete. \nBoy, this was really interesting! If I’d lived 500 years ago, singing the first seven verses could be a powerful reminder of my Savior, his life and work. \n\nAs anyone who sings this song knows, from here on you gotta hold on to your dentures! Momentum gathers with the last five gifts – all people. Lowly “milk maids” at work give way to dancing “ladies” and “lords” in ever-increasing displays of joy, followed by an orchestra of “pipers” and “drummers” to support the chorus, and rehearsed at a speed that carries me along in its grand celebration. What a wonderful way to celebrate the coming of our Savior!\n\nThen I got out my calculator. How many gifts were there? If one arrives on the first day, three on the second, six on the third, …by the last day there’s a grand total of 364 gifts. That’s one for every day of the year!\n\nNow at last I understood. “My True Love” was no mere earthly lover but my Heavenly Father. The gift of His Son was sufficient for every day of my year.\n\nThe irony? Everybody, even my fellow Christians, think it’s only a secular song. They even enjoy the lusty singing of its parodies – like “The Twelve Days After Christmas – to mock at the corruption of the holiday. They don’t understand why I can’t laugh and sing it with t

Is it from the "Midnight Blue" album by Jennifer Rush? \nThat song and the Hugo song have been going through my head since niceguy asked. Wish I could find it on amazon or somewhere but I've looked and I can't find hide nor hair of "waiting for Hugo" or "midnight blue".\nThat's the trouble with hearing a song as a kid; you can't remember it the same, including who came out with it.

gawd im looking for the same thing, about the girl named maria? and the bird? the girl was 14 when she sang it, but i can find it!!!!!! and i requested it on the radio and they played the wrong one!!!! argh!!!!!\n\ni have found the lyrics!!!!!!!!\n\nA poor orphan girl named Maria \nWas walking to market one day \nShe stopped for a rest by the roadside \nWhere a bird with a broken wing lay \nA few moments passed till she saw it \nFor its feathers were covered with sand \nBut soon clean and wrapped it was traveling \nIn the warmth of Maria's small hand \n\nShe happily gave her last peso \nOn a cage made of rushes and twine \nShe fed it loose corn from the market \nAnd watched it grow stronger with time \n\nNow the gift giving service was coming \nAnd the church shone with tinsel and light \nAnd all of the townfolks brought presents \nTo lay by the manger that night \nThere were diamonds and incense and perfumes \nIn packages fit for a king \nBut for one ragged bird in a small cage \nMaria had nothing to bring \n\nShe waited 'til just before midnight \nSo no one would see her go in \nAnd crying she knelt by the manger \nFor her gift was unworthy of Him \n\nThen a voice spoke to her through the darkness \n"Maria, what brings you to me? \nIf the bird in the cage is your offering, \nOpen the door and let me see." \nThough she trembled, she did as He asked her \nAnd out of the cage the bird flew \nSoaring up into the rafters \nOn a wing that had healed good as new \n\nJust then the midnight bells rang out \nAnd the little bird started to sing \nA song that no words could recapture \nWhose beauty was fit for a king \n\nNow Maria felt blessed just to listen \nTo that cascade of notes sweet and long \nAs her offerings was lifted to heaven \nBy the very first nightingale's song

Yeah, that story sounds really familiar. I can't really help though because it's been a few years since I've listened to Christian music. Try calling the local Christian radio station, they will probably know. Good luck with the search.

Every time a World Cup or the European Championships come around both Frank Skinner and David Baddiel are asked if they will be releasing a new song. Unfortunately they've said they have no intention of doing another and considering how good Three Lions was its hardly surprising. It would be difficult to surpass and they have already re-released the song as you said. There's only so many times you can sing the one song. Unless you're Tony Christie singing "Amarillo"...

I listen to the decade version all the time.  Ithink it is just a song about the mysteries of childhood thought, like when he says "what is the color when black is burned?".  thats a question only a child could ask
