La Delgadina

The Delgadina

La Delgadina

Delgadina walked from the living room to the kitchenDelgadina se paseaba de la sala a la cocina
With her silk dress, which illuminates her bodyCon su vestido de seda, que a su cuerpo le ilumina

Get up Delgadina, put on your silk skirtsLevántate Delgadina, ponte tus nahuas de seda
Because we are going to mass in the city of MoreliaPorque nos vamos a misa a la ciudad de Morelia

After she left mass, her father would talk to herLuego que salio de misa su papá le platicaba
Delgadina my dear daughter, I want you to be a ladyDelgadina hijita mía yo te quiero para dama

May God in heaven and the sovereign queenNo permita dios del cielo ni la reina soberana
Not allow this offense to God and betrayal to my motherEsta ofensa para Dios y traicion para mi mama

Gather the eleven servants and lock up DelgadinaJúntense los once criados y enciérren a Delgadina
Secure the locks well, so no cunning voice is heardRemachen bien los candados, que no se oiga voz ladina

My dear father, I am suffering your punishmentPapacito de mi vida, tu castigo esto sufriendo
Give me a glass of water, I am dying of thirstRegálame un vaso de agua, que de sed me estoy muriendo

Gather the eleven servants, take water to DelgadinaJúntense los once criados, llévenle agua a Delgadina
In a golden cup, a glass of Chinese crystalEn vaso sobredorado, vaso de cristal de China

When they brought her the water, Delgadina was deadCuando le llevaron l'agua, Delgadina estaba muerta
Her arms were crossed, her mouth was openTenía sus brazos cruzados, tenía su boquita abierta

Delgadina's bed is surrounded by angelsLa cama de Delgadina de ángeles esta rodeada
The king, her father's bed, is crowded with demonsLa cama del rey su padre de demonios apretada

With this I bid farewell, I have an appointment on the cornerYa con esta me despido, tengo una cita en la esquina
Here end the verses of Delgadina singingAqui se acaban cantando versos de la Delgadina
