You who used to have a drinkTu que le dabas sebo a la lata
Drink up, drink up, drink up, lady from PaytaToma que toma, toma payteña
You who used to have a drink by the fireTu que le dabas sebo a la leña
Drink up, drink up, drink up, MadamToma que toma, toma Señora
You who used to give glory to my loveTu que le dabas a mi amor gloria
How you are my girlComo eres mi china
How you are my danceComo eres mi zamba
How you are the spellComo eres hechizo
Of all my desiresDe todas mis ansias
