This question?
Following the post by Isabel, I researched the children’s song avenue and came up with this
"El corro de la patata" is a song that Spanish children sing, where they grab each others' hands forming a circle and run faster as the song progresses, until the circle comes apart because they are moving too fast. In this context, I would suggest that Manzanares was moving in circles, or making repetitive movements. It is just a guess and obviously, if there is someone whose knowledge allows us to learn another meaning, I shall wait in hope! In the meantime I add the words and possible other titles for the song which is similar to the English "Ring around the Rosy/Roses" / A la Rueda Rueda / El corro de la patata.
Al corro de la patata,
Comeremos ensalada,
como comen los señores,
naranjitas y limones
achupe, achupe,
sentadita me quedé.
Saludos a todas
El matador
