The Little Cook

Victor Jara

La Cocinerita

Cuchilla de palo, flaca y filosa
Ollita de barro, se le he comprado
Se le he comprado, a mi concinera

Y con mi caja vengo cantando
Coplas de Tilcara por que ya estamos
Por que ya estamos, en el medio del carnaval

Planta de ají, planta y tomate
'Onde estará mi concinerita ay, tomando mate? (bis)

Por que suspira mi fin de fiesta
A Doña Pispira, 'onde convidan
'Onde convidan, con queso de cabra

Hojita de coca, rami molido
Ramito de albahaca, se le he comprado
Se le he comprado, a mi cocinera

Planta de ají, planta y tomate
'Onde estará mi concinerita ay, tomando mate? (bis)

The Little Cook

Wooden knife, slim and sharp
Little clay pot, I have bought her
I have bought her, for my cook

And with my drum I come singing
Coplas from Tilcara because we are already
Because we are already, in the middle of the carnival

Chili plant, plant and tomato
Where will my little cook be, drinking mate? (repeat)

Why does my party end with a sigh
To Doña Pispira, where they invite
Where they invite, with goat cheese

Coca leaf, ground rami
Little basil branch, I have bought her
I have bought her, for my cook

Chili plant, plant and tomato
Where will my little cook be, drinking mate? (repeat)
