Sancocho
Si quieres hacé un sancocho, un sancocho a lo oriental,
Un sancocho bien sabroso,
Pon cuidado a mi explicar
Si el sancocho es pescao fresco,
Pon primero a calentar
Ocumo, yuca y auyama, con su poquito de sal.
Y la bananita verde que no debe de faltar
Cuando esto esté en la candela,
No te olvides de agregar
Ají, cebollín y ajo, que es su sabor peculiar.
Y al ver amigo mío, a la verdura ablandar
Echa ese pescao fresco
Y limón sin reparar!
Y la botellita'e ron que no debe de faltar
Stew
If you want to make a stew, an oriental stew,
A very tasty stew,
Pay attention to my explanation
If the stew is made with fresh fish,
First, put it to heat
Ocumo, yuca, and squash, with a little salt.
And the green banana that must not be missing
When this is on the fire,
Don't forget to add
Chili, chives, and garlic, which give it its peculiar flavor.
And when you see, my friend, the vegetables soften
Add that fresh fish
And lemon without hesitation!
And the little bottle of rum that must not be missing
