The Little Cook

La Cocinerita

Wooden knife, skinny and sharpCuchilla de palo, flaca y filosa
Clay pot, I bought it for herOllita de barro, se le he comprado
I bought it for my cookSe le he comprado a mi cocinera

And with my box, I come singingY con mi caja vengo cantando
Songs from Tilcara 'cause we’re already hereCoplas de Tilcara porque ya estamos
'Cause we’re already here in the middle of the carnivalPorque ya estamos en medio del carnaval

To Doña Pispira, where they inviteA Doña Pispira, 'onde convidan
Where they invite with goat cheese'Onde convidan con queso de cabra
