The hen Turuleca

The hen Turuleca

The hen, Turuleca, is really crazy …… Who does not remember the lyrics of this song? The Turuleca hen is part of the memory of many of us, one of those endearing songs that the clowns on TV sang a few decades ago. Gaby, Fofó and Miliki, created a family program full of endearing songs that many years later are still sung and taught to children today.

In addition to the songs, over the years they have been created films and stories about some of the most beloved characters in those songs. Today we are going to pay tribute to the Turuleca hen, that half-crazy bird that wouldn't stop laying eggs. So that you can teach your children not only the lyrics of the song, you can also explain the meaning of the word "turuleca", coloring pictures and even watch a movie together.

The hen Turuleca

We all know the Turuleca hen from the famous song, and for many people, that funny word that defines the hen has a meaning. Contrary to what many may think, the Dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language collects the term "turuleca" with this definition:

Turuleco, CA

adj. El Salv. And Hond. Said of a person: silly (lack of understanding or reason)

Apparently, the Turkish adjective is used a lot in countries like El Salvador and Honduras. Although it is also common to hear it in other Latin American countries. But it is not used exactly as it is defined in the dictionary, since the Turkish word is used more to point out those people who are vivacious, you crazy, with the head a little lost. Always of course used with affection, turuleca is a colloquial adjective that is not used to hurt.

The song of the Gallina Turuleca

We could not finish this tribute to one of the most beloved characters, without remembering the lyrics of the song that made her so famous.

I know a neighbor

what has bought a hen,

that looks like a canned sardine.

It has the wire legs,

because he is very hungry,

and the poor thing is all plucked.

Lays eggs in the living room

and also in the kitchen,

but never put them in the corral.

The hen!! Turuleca !!

it is a case like no other,

The hen!! Turuleca!!

She really is crazy.

The hen Turuleca,

Has laid an egg, has put two, has put three.

The hen Turuleca,

He has put four, he has put five, he has put six.

The Turuleca Hen,

He has put seven, he has put eight, he has put nine.

Where is the chicken,

leave her to the poor thing,

let her put ten.

With autumn upon us, long afternoons are coming to enjoy with the family. Singing songs from your childhood with your children will help you refer to a happy moment and share your happiest memories with your children. Finally, you can print a drawing of the Turuleca hen, so the children can paint as they like and you will have a fun time doing crafts.
