Miro hacia el cielo, las nubes de algodón

Buenas noches, la luna salió

Muchas estrellitas luceros de amor.

Cuida nuestra tierra y llénala de amor.

Un gran viaje van hacer

De la tierra hasta la luna

Volar será un placer

Nos pondremos nuestros

Trajes y a la nave subiremos

Sentaditos todos juntos

A la luna llegaremos.
