| Caña dulce Sugar Cane | |
Original text | |
Caña dulce pa moler cuando tenga mi casita: ¡Oh, qué suerte tan bonita que pa mí tendrá que ser! Cuando apunte el verolís y yo viva con mi nena, no tendré ninguna pena y seré siempre Tendré entonces mi casita y una milpa y buenos bueyes y seré como esos reyes que no envidian ya nadita. Con mi Dios y mi morena, caña dulce y buen amor, esta vida noble y buena pasaré sin un rencor. | |
English Translation | |
Sugar cane to grind when I get my own house: Oh, what lovely luck will be for me! When the flower of the sugar cane sprouts, and I'm living with my sweetheart, I won't have any sorrows, and I will have none at all. Then I'll have my little house, my cornfield, and good oxen. Then I'll be like those kings who don't envy any little thing. With my God and my brown-haired sweetheart, sugar cane and good love, I will spend this noble and good life without any resentment at all.
