A mi me dió por tocarla
Aunque yo nada sabía
Si es la mujer de Emiliano
Hija de la vieja ñata
Que la mujer de Emiliano
Mamá de la vieja ñata
Viejas que siempre lucharon
Por la cultura en su casa
Viejas que siempre lucharon
Por la cultura en su casa
I took a fancy to touching her
Though I knew nothing at all
She is Emiliano’s wife
Daughter of the flat-nosed lady
Well, Emiliano’s wife
Mother of the flat-nosed lady
Gals who always fought
For the culture of their home
Gals who always fought
For the culture of their home
