She will bring quails for you,Te va a traer codornices para ti,
She will bring many things for you,Te va a traer mucha cosa para ti,
She will bring pork for you,Te va a traer carne de cerdo para ti,
She will bring many things for you.Te va a traer mucha cosa para ti.
And if the black one doesn't sleep,Y si negro no se duerme
The white devil comesViene diablo blanco
And bam!Y ¡zas!
He eats his little foot.Le come la patita.
