    Default Translate "I Just Wanna be a sheep"

    I am travelling at the end of the month to the Caribbean and we will be doing a children's program that will include a sheep theme. I am needing help translating the kids song I Wanna Be a Sheep.The translation doee not need to be exact. I know the rhyme words will never make it. Just help to get close to it. If you can do at least verse 1 and 2, I will be happy. God bless

    I just wanna be a sheep
    Baa baa baa baa
    I just wanna be a sheep
    Baa baa baa baa
    I pray the Lord my soul to keep
    I just wanna be a sheep
    Baa baa baa baa

    Hello Blessed!
    As you may know, this song cannot be translated literally because of the play on words. I do know the song so I translated it for you to go with the music. I must warn you that it is NOT an exact translation but it will work:

    I just wanna be a sheep
    Una oveja quiero ser
    Baa baa baa baa
    I just wanna be a sheep
    Una oveja quiero ser
    Baa baa baa baa
    I pray the Lord my soul to keep
    El Señor mi alma guardara
    I just wanna be a sheep
    Una oveja quiero ser
    Baa baa baa baa

    I don't wanna be a Pharisee
    Fariseo no sere
    I don't wanna be a Pharisee
    Fariseo no sere
    Cause they're not fair, you see
    Porque justo quiero ser (Loosely... "Because I want to be just")
    I don't wanna be a Pharisee.
    Fariseo no sere

    chorus

    I don't wanna be a Sadducee
    Saduceo no sere
    I don't wanna be a Sadducee
    Saduceo no sere
    Cause they're so sad you see
    Porque triste no sere (Loosely, "Because I do not want to be sad")
    I don't wanna be a Sadducee
    Saduceo no sere

    chorus

    I don't wanna be a hypocrite
    No sere hipócrita
    I don't wanna be a hypocrite
    No sere hipócrita
    Cause they're not hip with it
    En verdad yo vivire (Loosely, "I will live in truth")
    I don't wanna be a hypocrite
    No sere hipócrita

    chorus

    I don't wanna be a Caananite
    Cananita no sere
    I don't wanna be a Caananite
    Cananita no sere
    Cause they raise cain a lot
    Al Señor yo servire ("I will serve the Lord")
    I don't wann be a Caananite
    Cananita no sere.

    I hope this works for you!
