Mandinga open the doorMandinga abrime la puerta
I said when I arrivedle dije cuando llegué
I'm not afraid of anythingno le tengo miedo a nada
tired of suffering.cansado de padecer.

I entered just a poor gauchoEntré nomás gaucho pobre
that nothing will weigh on youque nada te ha de pesar
living in my Salamancaviviendo a mi Salamanca
you will lack nothing.ya nada te ha de faltar.
