Celedonia Batista
Viene bajando del cerro
La Celedonia Batista
Trayendo a grupa la guagua
Que se le queda dormida
Es una mancha allá lejos
Con su pollera amarilla
Viene arrastrando el cansancio
Hebra por hebra tejida
Con hilos de libertad
¡Ay, Celedonia Batista!
Téjame un tiempo infinito
Donde no cueste la vida
Téjame un tiempo infinito
Donde no cueste la vida
Vende por pocas monedas
Tanta paciendo tejida
Sabe que no hay quien le pague
Su antigua sabiduría
Y mientras hila sus mantas
Con amorosa alegría
Suele cantar en sus coplas
Que el coya no se resigna
Con hilos de libertad
¡Ay, Celedonia Batista!
Téjame un tiempo infinito
Donde no cueste la vida
Téjame un tiempo infinito
Donde no cueste la vida
Téjame un tiempo infinito
Donde no cueste la vida
Téjame un tiempo infinito
Donde no cueste la vida
Donde no cueste la vida, la vida
Celedonia Batista
Coming down from the hill
Is Celedonia Batista
Carrying on her back the baby
Who falls asleep
She's a spot far away
With her yellow skirt
Dragging the exhaustion
Thread by thread woven
With threads of freedom
Oh, Celedonia Batista!
Weave me an endless time
Where life doesn't cost
Weave me an endless time
Where life doesn't cost
She sells for a few coins
So much woven grazing
She knows no one can pay her
For her ancient wisdom
And while she weaves her blankets
With loving joy
She often sings in her verses
That the coya doesn't resign
With threads of freedom
Oh, Celedonia Batista!
Weave me an endless time
Where life doesn't cost
Weave me an endless time
Where life doesn't cost
Weave me an endless time
Where life doesn't cost
Weave me an endless time
Where life doesn't cost
Where life doesn't cost, life
