The Devout Woman

Victor Jara

La Beata

Estaba la beata un día
Enferma del mar
De amor el que tenía la culpa
Era el fraile confesor

Chiribiribiribiri, chiribiribirbón
A la beata le gustaba
Con el fraile la cuestión

No quería que le pusieran
Zapato ni zapatón
Sino las sandalias viejas
Del fraile confesor
No quería que le pusieran
Mortaja ni mortajón
Sino la sotana vieja
Del fraile confesor

No quería que la velaran
Con vela ni con velón
Sino con la vela corta
Del fraile confesor

The Devout Woman

The devout woman was one day
Sick of the sea
The one to blame for the love she had
Was the friar confessor

Chiribiribiribiri, chiribiribirbon
The devout woman liked
The matter with the friar

She didn't want them to put on her
Shoe or big shoe
But the old sandals
Of the friar confessor
She didn't want them to put on her
Shroud or big shroud
But the old cassock
Of the friar confessor

She didn't want them to watch over her
With a candle or big candle
But with the short candle
Of the friar confessor
