Mira este video con esta maravillosa canción, "Parte de tu Mundo", con la princesa Ariel, en su versión en español. Letra: La Sirenita - Parte de tu Mundo Qué tengo aquí, qué lindo es, es un tesoro que descubrí, es muy simple decir que no hay más que pedir. De lo que ves a tu alrededor, tanta abundancia, tanto esplendor, me hace pensar que yo no necesito más. Regalitos así tengo miles, aunque a veces no sepa qué son. ¿Quieres, no sé, mapas? Tengo veinte. Pero yo en verdad... quiero más... Yo quiero ver algo especial, yo quiero ver una bella danza, y caminar...

They may offer you fortune and fame,
Love and money and instant acclaim.
But whatever they offer you,
Don't feed the plants!
They may offer you lots of cheap thrills,
Fancy discos in Beverly Hills.
But whatever they offer you,
Don't feed the plants!
Look out!
Here comes Audrey II.
Look out!
Here I come for you...
Here I come for you...
Here I come for you...
Here I come for you...
Hold you hat and hang on to your soul.
Something's comming to eat the world whole.
If we fight it we've still got a chance.
But whatever they offer you,
Though they're slopping the trough for you,
Please, whatever they offer you,
Don't feed the plants!
