El molondrón
Language: Spanish (Español)
Desde que vino la moda,
que sí, que no, que ¡ay!
de los pañuelitos blancos
me parecen los mocitos,
que sí, que no, que ¡ay!
palomitas en el campo.
Molinero, molinero,
a la hora de maquilar,
ten cuidado que la rueda
no se te vaya a escapar,
y te vaya a ti a coger
molinero, molinero, al moler.
Fui a pedir las marzas
en cá el molinero
y perdí las sayas
y perdí el pañuelo
y perdí otra cosa
que ara no recuerdo.
Molondrón…
Toditos los molineros
que sí, que no, que ¡ay!
cuando salen del molino
parece que van diciendo
que sí, que no, que ¡ay!
de la piedra sale el trigo.
Molinero, molinero
a la hora de maquilar…
Por hablar de nochi
con el molinero
me pegó mi padri
mi madri y mi agüelo.
Y hay que ver la cara
que tié el molinero
y hay que ver las coses
que me dió mi “agüelo.”
Molondrón…

The Blow to the Head
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Since fashion came,
Yes, no, ay!
of the little white handkerchiefs
The young guys seem to me
Yes, no, ay!
Like rice drinks in the field.
Miller, miller
when it comes to milling,
be careful that the wheel
do not run away,
and you go to catch it,
miller, when grinding.
I went to ask for the marzas
in the miller’s house,
and I lost my skirts
and I lost my handkerchief
and I lost something else
that now I do not remember.
