The Story of
There was a group of pilgrims who had just attended a Cursillo weekend in Spain.
They were riding home on a bus, singing and rejoicing…
When, suddenly, the weather turned bad and a frightening storm had them huddling together on the side of the road.
But when the storm was over, the clouds parted and the sun peeked through.
As the tension lessened, one pilgrim looked out the window at the farm they had parked in front of.
And there saw a rooster resplendent in color in the sparkling aftermath of the storm.
Singing and shouting De Colores the pilgrims began to rejoice again, writing a song praising God and rejoicing in the shining colors of the little rooster.
Hence, the greeting, De Colores, that wishes you warmth, celebration, and joy.
De Colores, de Colores se visten los campos en la primavera De Colores, de Colores son los pajarillos que vienen de afuera De Colores, de Colores es el arco iris que vemos lucir
Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores, me gustan a mí
Canta el gallo, canta el gallo con el quiri quiri quiri quiri quiri La gallina, la gallina con el cara cara cara cara cara Los polluelos, los polluelos con el pio pio pio pio pi
Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores, me gustan a mí Y por eso los grandes amores De muchos colores, me gustan a mí VIVA
