La Gallina Ponedora

The Egg-Laying Hen

La Gallina Ponedora

I have a loud-mouthed hentengo una gallina bien cacareadora
That lays an egg every half hourque pone un huevito cada media hora
She lays one of gold, one of copperpone uno de oro pone de cobre
How the poor thing does it, I don't knowcomo hara la pobre eso no lo se
I don't know, I don't knoweso no lo se, eso no lo se

That loud-mouthed little henesa gallinita cacacareadora
Who doesn't need an incubatorque no necesita de la incubadora
Just by looking at a rooster, she's good to gocon mirar un gallo le basta y le sobra
How the poor thing does it, I don't knowcomo hara la pobre, eso no lo se,
I don't know, I don't knoweso no lo se, eso no lo se.

CHORUS:CORO:
That hen is a great egg-layeresa gallinita es bien ponedora
And on top of that, she's very resourcefuly ademas de eso es muy previsora
She lays eggs fried and others in a tortillapone huevos fritos y otros en tortilla
And if you edge her, even with hamy si se le orilla hasta con jamon
Even with ham, I don't knowhasta con jamon, eso no lo se.

That hen is worth more than goldesa gallinita vale mas que el oro
That's why I take care of her like a great treasurepor eso la cuido como un gran tesoro
If women were like hersi asi como ella fueran las mujeres
How would the poor things do it, I don't knowcomo harian las pobres eso no lo se,
I don't know, I don't knoweso no lo se, eso no lo se.
