(Saint John)(San Juan)

This is our music and this is how we dance in my EcuadorEsta es nuestra música y así se baila en mi Ecuador

Come on, fellow villagers, in San Juan we have to dance our feetVamos comuneros que en san Juan hay que zapatear
With the compadritos that will come from partialityCon los compadritos que vendrán de parcialidad
Runakuna llakta and caraju want to take us awayRunakuna llakta y caraju nos quieren quitar
Neither the police nor the boss should scare usNi policía, ni gamonal nos han de asustar

In minga fighting we have to be, yes, pull and pull without restingEn minga peleando hemos de estar ay, jala y jala sin descansar
To the sound of the flute and the hard drum sounding to callAl son de la flauta y del tambor duro sonando para llamar
Compadres, they are already coming from Quinchuqui and IlumanCompadres ya vienen de quinchuqui y de Iluman

Agato, Peguche, Guanansy are going to get togetherAgato, Peguche, Guanansy se van a juntar
The Stock Exchange, Cotama Carabuela they want to take away from usLa Bolsa, Cotama Carabuela nos quieren quitar
The hill will be filled with ponchos, dammit!De ponchos la loma se ha de llenar ay, caraju

And turning around, with the handkerchief upY dando la vueltita, con el pañuelito arriba
SoAsí

In minga fighting we have to be, yes, pull and pull without restingEn minga peleando hemos de estar ay, jala y jala sin descansar
To the sound of the flute and the hard drum sounding to callAl son de la flauta y del tambor duro sonando para llamar
Compadres, they are already coming from quinchuquita and rumanCompadres ya vienen de quinchuquita y ruman

At the top peguche my gualasi are going to join togetherAl alto peguche mi gualasi se van a juntar
They want to take away the bag with the tamacarabuela from usLa bolsa con tamacarabuela nos quieren quitar
The hill will be filled with ponchos, dammit!De ponchos la loma se ha de llenar ay, caraju

(Black-breasted chivilito)(Chivilito negro pecho Colorado)

And I'm not going to trust menY yo de los hombres no me voy a confiar
Because they only know how to betrayPorque solo saben traicionar
