El Cantarito

The Little Jug

El Cantarito

When you go down to the streamCuando bajes al arroyo
And walk carrying the water,Y andes acarreando el agua,
I'll wait for you at the well.Yo te espero en el posito.
And after we chatY despues que platiquemos
And I kiss you on the lips,Y te bese en la boquita,
I'll bring you the little jug.Yo te llevo el cantarito.
Just in case they suspectPor aquello de las dudas
And discover the schemeQue descubran la movida
And find us talkingY nos hallen platicando
I'll grab the little jugYo te agarro el cantarito
And I'll tell them a lie,Y les echo la mentira,
That I was helping you.Que te andaba yo ayudando.
If I break the little jugSi te rompo el cantarito
For being carelessPor andar de acomodido
We'll have an agreementYa tendremos un arreglo
I'll pay you right awayTe lo pago al contadito
You'll see the moneyYa veras la billetisa,
That I give to my father-in-law.Que le suelto yo a mi suegro.
If my father-in-law scolds me,Si mi suegro me regana,
Because of the little jugPor cuestion del cantarito
Distract him with liesCon mentiras lo entretienes
Keep it hiddenTu conservalo escondido
Where no one can grab itDonde nadie te lo agarre
But don't show it to anyone.Pero a nadie se lo ensenes.
If I break the little jugSi te rompo el cantarito
For being carelessPor andar de acomedido
We'll have an agreementYa tendremos un arreglo
I'll pay you right awayTe lo pago al contadito
You'll see the moneyYa veras la billetisa,
That I give to my father-in-law.Que le suelto yo a mi suegro.
