Oh lord! I didn’t even knew about that song!!! (Yes, I’m Mexican and I was a kid at the time).
I submit another silly song, this time from Spanish duo Enrique y Ana, composed during the Return of the Jedi era.

The best (and only) translation I could find, from Reddit…
A space kid from the year 2000
Came among storks, came on a skate
His name is Artuditu, he’s a little guy
that speaks like this:beeps
He follows me everywhere and I don’t know what to do!
I don’t know what he’s saying when he’s about to eat
If he cries I plug him into the TV
and cries like this:beeps
I plug his kettle to the electric outlet
I fill it with electrodes when it’s lunch time
He falls asleep with super space sounds
And snores like this:beeps
[In fake english accent] “Artuditu, stop your mischief
count the stars with your digital stopwatch!”He’s lulled to sleep by synthesizer sounds
He’s a beloved robot that transmits love
I push a little button and when a light turns on
he says to me:beeps
I plug his kettle to the electric outlet
I fill it with electrodes when it’s lunch time
He falls asleep with super space sounds
And snores like this:beeps
He follows me everywhere and I don’t know what to do!
I don’t know what he’s saying when he’s about to eat
If he cries I plug him into the TV
and cries like this:beeps
“Artuditu, come over here. Artuditu!
Artuditu, respect your elder computers!
Artuditu, what did you say?
Why you say that, Artuditu?
I love you like a son!”
Holy crap…
