La Chilindrina

The Chilindrina

La Chilindrina

Divine shell, precious ChilindrinaConcha divina, preciosa chilindrina
With peasant braid, I like you to loveDe trenza pueblerina, me gustas al-amar
Come give me a biscuit of feeling in mouth and limeVen dame un bísquet de siento en boca y lima
Devil without flour, bread soaked in water and saltChamuco sin harina, pambazo de agua y sal

Last week I saw you very casualLa otra semana te vi muy campechana
But today in the morning you were going to give me pancakePero hoy en la mañana panqué me ibas a dar
Leave those horns for other sweet breadsDeja esos cuernos para otros polvorones
That are only spicy for a girlfriend in a volcanoQue sólo son picones de novia en un volcán

If you make me bread of the deadSi me haces pan de muerto
I'll give you your sliced breadTe doy tu pan de caja
I'll take you by the tieTe llevo de corbata
From ear to the cemeteryDe oreja hasta el panteón

There are the wormsAllí están los gusanos
For your precious bonesPa' tus preciosos huesos
Just don't play dumbNomás no te hagas rosca
Or you'll go from the coconutQue te irá del cocol

I want to see my soaked one all powderedA mi chorreada la quiero ver polveada
All cake-like, here in my heartTodita apastelada, aquí en mi corazón
Dear shell, you look all dressed upConcha querida, te ves entelerida
You seem like a Jewish nun, you who were a bombPareces monja juida, tú que eras un cañón

I gave you your ring, your brick houseTe di tu anillo, tu casa de ladrillo
And now, all I get is bread roll, you come out saying noY ahora, puro bolillo, me sales con que no
You want in one jump your two-for-five breadQuieres de un brinco tu pan de a dos por cinco
Profit in twenty-five and your extra stampsGanancia en veinticinco y tus timbres de pilón
