from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

El molondrón
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG
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…
