La Canelera

The Canelera

La Canelera

I saw you well, my shorty, I don't lose sight of you anymoreYa te vi bien mi chaparrita, ya no te pierdo de vista
You may not be, but you look like the ones I have on my listNo serás, pero pareces, de las que traigo en mi lista
Serve her about three sweetened cinnamons with her handSírvale unas tres canelas endulzadas con su mano
To drink them now, and a little later, we'll leavePara tomarlas ahorita, y más al ratito, nos vamos
And here it goes, Mr. Domingo ChavezY ahí le va, señor Domingo Chavez
And the ones who give orders arrived, The GfezY llegaron los que mandan, Los Gfez

If there's anyone who gets upset among those in the groupSi hay alguno que se pique de esos que andan en la bola
I have five magazines, six shots in the gunTraigo cinco cargadores, seis tiros en la pistola
If there's anyone who gets upset because I treated you with loveSi hay alguno que se pique porque te trate de amores
I'm not afraid of gunshots, my life, nor of painsNo le temo a los balazos, vida mía, ni a los dolores
Here's the farewell from the hilltops of a fig treeAhí les va la despedida de las cumbres de una higuera
Here they end singing verses of the caneleraAquí se acaban cantando versos de la canelera
