Translation

Las golondrinas ya van llegando

The swallows are already arriving

El tiempo de aguas va a comenzar

The time of rains is about to begin

Y tu prietita vente conmigo

And you, my dark-skinned girl, come with me

Para llevarte al pie del altar

To take you to the foot of the altar

No me desprecies porque

Do not reject me because

Soy pobre pero soy hombre trabajador

I am poor, but I am a hardworking man

Halla en mi pueblo ahí un jacalito

There in my town, there's a humble little house

Que está esperando tu dulce amor

That is waiting for your sweet love

Es un pueblito muy pequeñito

It's a very tiny little town

Donde mi madre me vio nacer

Where my mother saw me born

Con sus arrullos y sus besitos

With her lullabies and her little kisses

La viejecita me vio crecer

The old lady saw me grow up


Mi madrecita me dio un consejo

My dear mother gave me advice

Cuando vivía en su jacal

When I lived in her little house

Cuando seas grande

When you grow up

Y que te enamores

And fall in love

Nunca abandones tu dulce hogar

Never abandon your sweet home

Ahora se ha ido

Now she's gone

Y me ha dejado

And left me

Por eso busco con quien vivir

That's why I seek someone to live with

Si tú quisieras venir conmigo

If you would like to come with me

Para quitarme ya de sufrir

To free me from suffering

Es un pueblito muy pequeñito

It's a very tiny little town

Donde mi madre me vio nacer

Where my mother saw me born

Con sus arrullos y sus besitos

With her lullabies and her little kisses

La viejecita me vio crecer

The old lady saw me grow up
