Yo canto Co-qui, co-qui, co-qui, qui, qui, qui!

Sometimes we need a little something to remember our LOVE for the coqui. Enjoy!!

El co-qui, el co-qui a mi me encanta,

Es tan lindo el cantar del coqui,

Por las noches al ir a acostarme,

Me a-dor-me-ce can- tan - do a-si.

Co-qui, co-qui, co-qui, qui, qui, qui!

Co-qui, co-qui, co-qui, qui, qui, qui!

The co-qui, the co-qui so delights me.

With his song i need never count sheep.

Ev'ry night when i lie on my pillow,

Here's the singing that lulls me to sleep.

Co-qui, co-qui, co-qui, qui, qui, qui!

Co-qui, co-qui, co-qui, qui, qui, qui!

Sadly, three of the 16 species of the coquis in Puerto Rico are highly endangered. The web-footed Coqui, el Coquí Palmeado, and the Mottled Coqui, el Coquí Eneida, are classified as threatened in Puerto Rico. El Coquí Dorado is the most endangered of the three.
