The Tortilla Maker

El Tortillero

Hot little tortillaTortillita caliente

Dark night, I see nothingNoche oscura, nada veo
But I carry my lanternPero llevo mi farol
Passing by your doorPor tu puerta, voy pasando
And singing for loveY cantando por amor

I keep singingMás voy cantando
With so much sorrowCon tanta pena
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tosta'ita
Good tortillaTortilla buena
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tosta'ita
Good tortillaTortilla buena

Who could, my basketQuién pudiera, mi canasta
Exchange in a hugEn un abrazo trocar
If you want, missSi usted quiere, señorita
Here come the warm onesCalientitas aquí va

I keep singingMás voy cantando
With so much sorrowCon tanta pena
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tosta'ita
Good tortillaTortilla buena
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tosta'ita
Good tortillaTortilla buena

When I pass by your houseCuando paso, por tu casa
And you're not on the balconyY no estás en el balcón
My basket breaksSe me rompe la canasta
And my lantern goes outY se me apaga el farol

I keep singingMás voy cantando
With so much sorrowCon tanta pena
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tosta'ita
Good tortillaTortilla buena
From the toasted embersDe rescoldo tosta'ita
