BUENOS DÍAS SONG LYRICS
The traditional Buenos días song lyrics, which are in the videos above, go like this:
Buenos días, buenos días.
¿Cómo estás? ¿Cómo estás?
Muy bien, gracias, muy bien, gracias.
¿Y usted? ¿Y usted?
Spanish Playground had the great idea of singing it like this, to avoid the mix of tú and usted in the songs:
Buenos días, buenos días.
¿Cómo estás? ¿Cómo estás?
Muy bien, gracias, muy bien, gracias.
¿Y tú, qué tal? ¿Y tú, qué tal?
Another idea I’ve heard is to incorporate the days of the week, if you’re teaching a class. Then the song could go like this (credit to Jane Vander Beek):
Buenos días, hoy es __________.
¿Cómo estás? ¿Cómo estás?
Muy bien, gracias, muy bien, gracias.
¿Y, usted? ¿Y, usted?
