about

Ricardo Archuleta of Cerro, New Mexico sang this song on August 4, 1940 for Juan B. Rael, whose collection of field recordings is available from the Library of Congress.

(Listen to his recording here: www.loc.gov/item/raelbib000070/ )

Sr. Archuleta was a masterful singer of the Penitente tradition, and most of his contributions to the archives are Alabados and songs from religious folk dramas.

"El Tecolotito" is sung in so many diverse versions in Northern New Mexico that it almost constitutes a genre of its own.

With sisters Lia Martínez and Shae Fiol (vocals).

lyrics

Tecolote 'e 'onde viene'?
Del pueblo del colorido, cu
Vengo a trae'te la noticia
Que tu amor está perdido, cu

Little Owl, where did you come from?
From the village of Colorido, coo
I come bringing you the news
That your love is lost, coo

Pájaro cu, cu, cu
Pobrecito animalito
Tiene hambre el tecolotito, cu

Hoot-owl, poor animal
The little owl is hungry, coo

Tecolotito valiente, que canta'tes en enero, cu
Por qué no se juntan todos y hacen un tecolotero? cu

Brave little owl, you who sang in January, coo
Why don't we all get together to build a nest? coo

Tecolotito valiente, que canta'tes en abril, cu

Brave little owl, you who sang in April, coo
