Hit that mortar hard, hum, humDale duro ese pilón, hum, hum
Until it breaks, humQue se acabe de romper, hum
In the woods, there's plenty of woodQue en el monte hay mucho palo
And dad knows how to do it, humY papa lo sabe hacer, hum

My head hurts now, hum, humYa me duele la cabeza, hum, hum
From pounding the mortar so much, hum, humDe tanto darle al pilón, hum, hum
To fatten a pigPara engordar un cochino
And buy myself a nightgown, humY comprarme un camisón, hum

Up there on that hill, jium, jiumAllá arriba en aquel cerro, jium, jium
There's a civil marriage, jjium, jiumEstá un matrimonio civil, jjium, jium
The donkey's lips are marryingSe casa la bemba de burro
With the violin's neck, jiumCon el pescuezo de violín, jium

If it's for your husband, hum, humSi por tu marido es, hum, hum
Take him, there he goes, hum, humCójelo que allá te vá, hum, hum
A cretonne nightgownUn camisón de cretona
He hasn't given it to me yet, humNo me lo ha llegado a dar, hum

I don't want a married man, jium, jiumYo no quiero hombre casa'o, jium, jium
Because he smells like hard kill, jium, jiumPorque 'jiede' a mata dura, jium, jium
I want him singleYo lo quiero solterito
Smelling like ripe pineapple, humQue huele a piña madura, hum

And there goes the devil's face, hum, humY allá va la cara de diablo, hum, hum
With a demon's heart, hum, humDe corazón de demonio, hum, hum
His tongue is blackQue tiene la lengua negra
From giving false testimonies, humDe levantar testimonios hum

The arrogant one thinks, jium, jiumLa zoqueta se cree, jium, jium
That she deserves everything, jium, jiumQue todo se lo merece, jium, jium
And lives in a piece of a shackY vive en un pe'azo de rancho
That the wind shakes, jiumQue el viento se lo estremece, jium
