"Manuelita la tortuga" (pronounced [ma.nwe.ˈli.tala toɾ.ˈtu.ɣa]; Spanish for "Manuelita the turtle") is a children's song by Argentine writer and musician María Elena Walsh, first recorded by Leda y María—her duo with Leda Valladares—and included in their 1962 EP Doña Disparate y Bambuco.[1][2] It tells the story of a female turtle from the rural town of Pehuajó, who travels to Paris to undergo beauty treatments after falling in love.[3] In its native country it is a well-known children's song.[4] In 1997, Walsh released the children's book Manuelita ¿Dónde vas?, which expanded the story of the character.[3] The 1999 animation film Manuelita was adapted from the song.[5] A French version of the song was written and made famous by Argentine singer Jairo.
