The Pericona Has Died

Violeta Parra

La Pericona Se Ha Muerto

La pericona se ha muerto,
no pudo ver a la meica;
le faltaban cuatro reales,
por eso se cayó muerta.

Asómate a la rinconá
con la cruz y la coroná
que ha muerto la periconá,
¡ay, ay, ay!

La pericona se ha muerto,
no pudo ver a la meica;
le faltaba su milcao,
por eso se cayó muerta.

La pericona se ha muerto,
no pudo ver a la meica;
le faltaban los tamangos,
por eso se cayó muerta.

The Pericona Has Died

The pericona has died,
she couldn't see the meica;
she was missing four reales,
that's why she fell dead.

Look out at the corner
with the cross and the crown
the pericona has died,
ay, ay, ay!

The pericona has died,
she couldn't see the meica;
she was missing her milcao,
that's why she fell dead.

The pericona has died,
she couldn't see the meica;
she was missing the tamangos,
that's why she fell dead.
