Mateo tiene un balónMateo has a ballRodando por el pasilloRolling down the hallwayUna patada y se vaOne kick and off it goesVolando como un pajarilloFlying like a little birdDale dale MateoGo on go on MateoQue el balón se va rodandoThe ball is rolling awayDale dale MateoGo on go on MateoLa cocina está esperandoThe kitchen is waitingRebota contra la puertaIt bounces off the doorY vuelve como un coheteAnd comes back like a rocketMamá dice más despacioMama says a bit slowerMateo se ríe y meteMateo laughs and scoresDale dale MateoGo on go on MateoQue el balón se va rodandoThe ball is rolling awayDale dale MateoGo on go on MateoLa cocina está esperandoThe kitchen is waitingCuando el juego se termineWhen the game is overY el balón se quede quietoAnd the ball is finally stillVas a darle un abrazoYou will give it a hugY guardarlo en el cestoAnd put it in the basketDale dale MateoGo on go on MateoQue el balón se va rodandoThe ball is rolling awayDale dale MateoGo on go on MateoLa cocina está esperandoThe kitchen is waiting

Where the name comes from

Mateo is the Spanish form of Matthew, from the Hebrew Matityahu, meaning 'gift of God.'

Why this moment matters

A ball skidding down a hallway is basically a toddler's entire concept of a sports stadium.

The story behind this song

A ball goes skidding down the hallway and he chases it full speed, socks sliding on the wooden floor.
