El tumba y lé
 (Sung text for setting by F. Obradors)
 Matches base text
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Aunque soy chiquilla,
Si topo un marido
tendré de él cada año
dos o tres chiquillos.

Tumba y lé que me voy contigo,
tumba y lé que luego me iré,
tumba y lé para ir al molino,
tumba y lé para ir a moler.

Aunque yo no tengo
más que un buey mansito,
entre él y yo haremos
más que seis novillos.

Los mozos temiendo
que me embesta un toro,
dicen que me quite
mi justillo rojo...

Pero aunque se dice que
Tras cuernos palos, 
Yo tan solo temo
a los del diablo:

Tumba y lé que me voy contigo,
tumba y lé que luego me iré,
tumba y lé para ir al molino,
tumba y lé para ir a moler.

Composition:

    Set to music by Fernando J. Obradors (1897 - 1945), "El tumba y lé", published 1930 [ voice and piano ], from Canciones clásicas españolas, vol. 2, no. 3, Union Musical Ediciones S.L.
