The Egg-Laying Hen

Valentín Elizalde

La Gallina Ponedora

tengo una gallina bien cacareadora
que pone un huevito cada media hora
pone uno de oro pone de cobre
como hara la pobre eso no lo se
eso no lo se, eso no lo se

esa gallinita cacacareadora
que no necesita de la incubadora
con mirar un gallo le basta y le sobra
como hara la pobre, eso no lo se,
eso no lo se, eso no lo se.

CORO:
esa gallinita es bien ponedora
y ademas de eso es muy previsora
pone huevos fritos y otros en tortilla
y si se le orilla hasta con jamon
hasta con jamon, eso no lo se.

esa gallinita vale mas que el oro
por eso la cuido como un gran tesoro
si asi como ella fueran las mujeres
como harian las pobres eso no lo se,
eso no lo se, eso no lo se.

The Egg-Laying Hen

I have a loud-mouthed hen
That lays an egg every half hour
She lays one of gold, one of copper
How the poor thing does it, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know

That loud-mouthed little hen
Who doesn't need an incubator
Just by looking at a rooster, she's good to go
How the poor thing does it, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know

CHORUS:
That hen is a great egg-layer
And on top of that, she's very resourceful
She lays eggs fried and others in a tortilla
And if you edge her, even with ham
Even with ham, I don't know

That hen is worth more than gold
That's why I take care of her like a great treasure
If women were like her
How would the poor things do it, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know
