The Merry Goblin

They call me the goblin and I look for the old ladiesMe llaman el duende y busco a las viejas
Who are chattyQue son habladoras
I played the bandolinaTocó bandolina
Tiple and guacharaca and danced in the air running on a broomTiple y guacharaca y bailó en el aire corro en una escoba
I played the bandolina, tiple and guacharacaTocó bandolina, tiple y guacharaca
And danced in the air running on a broomY bailó en el aire corro en una escoba

I'm the merry goblin who walks around the neighborhoodSoy el duende alegre que anda por el barrio
I don't care about crosses or scapularsA mi no me vale cruz ni escapulario

I throw stones and play tejo and always chase married womenTiro piedra y tejo y persigo siempre la mujer casada
I like widows to make them fall in loveMe gustan las viudas para enamorarlas
Because the deceased doesn't need anythingPor que ya el difunto no se le da nada

I climb on roofs to scare the old ladiesMe subo a los techos a espantar a las viejas

And every minute I enter a house and ruin a marriageY a todo minuto entro a una casa daño un matrimonio
