Linda La Vida Mia

(Cueca)(Cueca)

Five liters of wine,Cinco litros de vino,
a pot of locro,una olla i´locro,
a pot of locro,una olla i´locro,
lay down for a nap,echarse a dormir siesta,
get drunk,tinquiarse el coto,
get drunk.tinquiarse el coto.

To dance the cueca,Para bailar la cueca
I put on my best clothes,me pongo ushutas,
I put on my best clothes,me pongo ushutas,
a little shepherd hat,sombrerito ovejero,
a jute jacket,chaqueta yuta,
a jute jacket.chaqueta yuta.

Beautiful my life,Linda la vida mía
from dance to dance,de baile en baile,
from dance to dance,de baile en baile,
let the cueca continuesiga nomás la cueca
without end,que no se acabe,
without end.que no se acabe.

The old ladies have already left,Ya se han marchao´ las viejas,
my dear, and this is heating up.vidita y esto está que arde.

On the other side of the houseAl otro lado de casa
lives a black woman,vive una negra,
lives a black woman,vive una negra,
a hole in the fenceun aujero en la tapia
made to see her,l´hecho pa´verla,
made to see her,l´hecho pa´verla,
because when I wantporque cuando yo quiero
to be with her,estar con ella,
to be with her,estar con ella,
the dog barely barksapenas ladra el choco
and my mother-in-law shows up,sale mi suegra,
and my mother-in-law shows up.sale mi suegra.
