Translation

Dale duro a ese pilón, io io

Hit that mortar hard, io io

Que se acabe de romper, io io

Let it finally break, io io

Que en el monte hay mucho palo

Because in the woods, there's a lot of wood

Y mi papá lo sabe hacer, io io

And my dad knows how to do it, io io


Ya me duele la cabeza, io io

Now my head hurts, io io

De tanto darle al pilón, io io

From pounding the mortar so much, io io

Para engordar un cochino

To fatten up a pig

Y comprarme un camisón, io io io

And buy myself a nightgown, io io io


Allá arriba en aquel cerro, io io

Up there on that hill, io io

'Ta un matrimonio civil, io io

There's a civil marriage, io io

Se casó la bemba 'e burro

The donkey's lips got married

Con el pescuezo 'e violín, io io

To the violin's neck, io io


Y la zoqueta se cree, io io

And the arrogant one believes, io io

Que todo se lo merece, io io

That she deserves everything, io io

Y vive en un pe'azo 'e rancho

And lives in a big shack

Que el viento se lo estremece, io io

That the wind shakes, io io


Yo no quiero hombre casa'o, io io

I don't want a married man, io io

Porque hiede a mata dura, io io

Because he smells of hard wood, io io

Yo quiero uno solterito

I want a single one

Que huele a piña madura, io io io

Who smells like ripe pineapple, io io io


Dale duro a ese pilón, io io

Hit that mortar hard, io io

Que se acabe de romper, io io

Let it finally break, io io

Que en el monte hay mucho palo

Because in the woods, there's a lot of wood

Y mi papá lo sabe hacer, io io

And my dad knows how to do it, io io


Ya me duele la cabeza, io io

Now my head hurts, io io

De tanto darle al pilón, io io

From pounding the mortar so much, io io

Para engordar un cochino

To fatten up a pig

Y comprarme un camisón, io io io

And buy myself a nightgown, io io io
