Post by bunniefuu »

BOOTS:
Dora!

DORA:
Boots!


KIDS:
* D-D-D-D-D-Dora *

* D-D-D-D-D-Dora *

Let's go.

* Dora, Dora, Dora
the Explorer *

Dora!

* Boots and supercool
Exploradora. *

DORA:
We need your help.

BOOTS:
Grab your backpack!

* Let's go, jump in... *

Vámonos!

* You can lead the way. *

Hey! Hey!

* D-D-Dora, D-D-D-Dora *

* D-D-Dora, D-D-D-Dora *

* Swiper, no swiping *

* Swiper, no swiping. *

Oh, man!

Hi, I'm Dora.

Do you like music?

Me, too.

I love to play my flute!

Do you want to hear me
play my flute?

Great!

( imitating flute )

( imitating maracas )

Who made that
shaking sound?

Right!

It's my friend
Boots the Monkey.

( imitating maracas )

He's playing
the maracas.

Maracas!

I love music!

It makes me
so happy.

Atención!
Atención!

Look!

It's Señor Tucán
with the newspaper.

Extra! Extra! Extra!

There must be important news
in today's newspaper.

DORA AND BOOTS:
Gracias, Señor Tucán.

SEÑOR TUCAN:
De nada.

DORA:
Oh, look!

The townspeople are
having a parranda

and playing their instruments.

( music playing )

DORA:
Uh-oh, here comes Señor Shush.

Shush! Silencio!

I want quiet!

I will wave
my magic handkerchief

and lock up all your instruments
in the music box.

The only way to open the
music box is to play music.

But you can't play music.

You don't have the instruments.

( laughs )

Now we will have silencio!

( laughs )

( people groaning )

Oh, no!

What can we do?

I know!

We have our instruments.

We'll make our own parranda
and go play our music.

Then the music box
will open

and the townspeople
can get

their instruments back.

Will you help us
open the music box?

Great!

But, Dora, how do we
get to the music box?

Who do we ask for help

when we don't know
which way to go?

The map, right!

Will you check the map

to find out how
to get to the music box?

You have to say "map."

Say "map"! Say "map"!

Louder!

* * *

* If there's a place
you got to go *

* I'm the one you need to know *

* I'm the map *

* I'm the map, I'm the map *

* I'm the map, I'm the map,
I'm the map, I'm the map... *

I'm the map!

( song ends )

Dora and Boots need to get
to the music box.

Well, I know how
to get to the music box.

First, you go
over the Piano Bridge.

Then you go
through the Singing Gate.

GATE:
* La, la, la, la, la! *

MAP:
And that's how you get
to the music box.

( music box playing a tune )

MAP:
So you tell Dora:

Bridge...

gate...

music box.

Say it with me.

Bridge...

gate...

music box.

Bridge...

gate...

Bridge...

gate...

music box!

How do we get to the music box?

Bridge...

First, we go over
the Piano Bridge...

Then we go
through the Singing Gate...

* La, la, la, la, la! *

And that's how we get
to the music box.

( music box playing a tune )

Thanks for helping.

So first we need
to find the bridge.

Do you see a bridge?

Yeah, there it is!

Come on, Boots.

Let's go play
our instruments

to open the music box.

All right!

Will you sing and play
the instruments with us?

Great! Here we go!

Sing with me.

BOTH:
* A musician I am *

* And a-playing I will go. *

* I play the flute. *

( imitating flute )

* You play the flute. *

( imitating flute )

* I play the maracas. *

( imitating maracas )

* You play the maracas. *

( imitating maracas )

Sing with us.

BOTH:
* A musician I am *

* And a-playing I will go. *

Muy bien!

Great singing!

BOTH:
Hi, Benny!

Oh, hi, Dora!

Hi, Boots!

Benny, do you want
to join our parranda

and play music with us?

I'd love to, but...

I don't have an instrument.

Don't worry, Benny.

I bet I have
an instrument

in my backpack.

Will you
check my backpack

for an instrument
for Benny?

You have
to say "backpack."

* * *

* Backpack, backpack *

* Backpack, backpack... *

Yeah!

Hola, músicos!

Dora needs to find
an instrument for Benny.

Is this an instrument?

Oops, that's a banana.

Is this an instrument?

Yeah! That's a drum.

You found the conga drum.

Smart looking!

* Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. *

Delicioso!

Thanks for the conga drum.

( imitating drum )

Now let's sing
and play our instruments.

Here we go!

Sing with me.

* * *

ALL:
* A musician I am *

* And a-playing I will go. *

* I play the flute. *

( imitating flute )

* You play the flute. *

( imitating drum )

Sing with us!

ALL:
* A musician I am *

* And a-playing I will go. *

Great singing!

All right.

Let's go play
our instruments

to open
the music box.

Look, it's the Piano Bridge!

And it looks
like a piano.

DORA:
We have to cross
the bridge, but...

Uh-oh! The bridge is
missing some pieces.

Look! There's Señor Tucán.

He can help us fix the bridge.

Señor Tucán speaks Spanish,

so if we need a long piece,
we tell Señor Tucán "larga."

Say "larga."

Great!

If we need a short piece,
we tell Señor Tucán "corta."

Say "corta."

Great!

You have to tell Señor Tucán

which piece will fill in
the hole in the bridge.

Which piece goes here?

¿Larga?

¿Corta?

¿Larga?

¿Corta?

Larga!

Gracias!

DORA:
You picked the long piece.

Muy bien!

All right!

Which piece goes here?

¿Larga?

¿Corta?

¿Larga?

¿Corta?

Sí, corta!

DORA:
You picked the short piece.

Way to go!

Which piece goes here?

¿Larga?

¿Corta?

¿Larga?

¿Corta?

Larga!

Fantástico!

DORA:
The long piece.

Very good.

ALL:
Yay!

We fixed the bridge.

Thanks for helping.

ALL:
Gracias, Señor Tucán.

De nada.

Where do we go next?

Bridge...

gate...

music box.

We went over the bridge.

So next is...

The gate, right!

The Singing Gate!

* La, la, la, la, la. *

Thanks for helping.

Do you see a gate?

Where?

Yeah, there it is!

Come on, let's go
play our instruments

to open the music box.

( playing trombone )

DORA:
Look, it's Isa the Iguana!

She's playing the trombone.

ALL:
Hi, Isa!

Hi, guys!

Isa, would you like
to join our parranda?

Yes!

And I can play my trombone.

Oops, sorry.

Hi, Singing Gate!

* iHola, hola, hola! *

We need to go
through your gate

to get to the music box.

* No! No,
no, no, no! *

If you want me
to open,

you need
to figure out

the songs that
I'm going to sing.

* Good luck! *

Here's the first song.

What's the name
of this song?

( to "Old McDonald" ):
* La, la, la, la,

* E-I-E-I-O. *

Sing with us!

Hey, look, it's Tico!

ALL:
iHola, Tico!

Hola, amigos.

ISA:
Look, Tico has
a harmonica.

Tico, do you want to play
in our parranda?

¿Parranda?

Oh, no!
Oh, Swiper!

If we don't find

Do you see Señor Shush?

Right, there he is peeking out
from behind the music box.

Señor Shush,
would you like
to join our parranda?

Me? Me?

You want me
to play music with you?

ALL:
Yes!

Here, you can play

Whoo!

We had such
a fun musical trip today.

What was your favorite part
of the trip?

I liked that, too.

My favorite part

was when the
music box opened,

and all the instruments
came flying out.

My favorite part
was fixing the piano bridge

by saying "larga" and "corta."

We couldn't have done it
without you.

Thanks for helping!

DORA:
Hey, look, it's Boots.

Find Boots.

Try and catch me!

Whoa!

You can't find me.
