My mother didn't rest and worked even when pregnant,Mi madre no descansó y trabajó hasta preñada,
That's why wherever she went, I was inside accompanying her.Por eso, donde ella fuera yo adentro la acompañaba.
And my grandma used to say, 'that's how the deck was dealt!Y mi abuelita decía "así nos salió la baraja!
In the house of the poor, even the fetus works!'En la casa de los pobres hasta el feto trabaja!"

To the boss's mansion, a Black man was invited,A la mansión del patrón un negro ha sido invitao,
They sent for him as a desperate act.Lo mandaron a buscar como acto desesperao.
Unable to cure the boss,Al no poder curar al señor
Our white and illustrious doctorsNuestros blancos e ilustres doctores
Saint Martin de Porres arrived on the arm of the boss's wife!Del brazo de la patrona llegó san martín de porres!

She managed her virtue as if it were a taxi:Manejaba su virtud como si ella fuera un taxi:
The passenger went for money, from theory to practice.Por plata iba el pasajero, de la teoría a la praxis.
Her body, a road that caused many accidents.Su cuerpo, una carretera que accidentó a mucha gente.
Her love, a wounded orphan,Su amor, un huérfano herido,
Always looking for relatives.Siempre buscando pariente.
