El Cihualteco [English translation]
El Cihualteco [English translation]
Above Cihuatlán,
they call it “the hidden waters,”
where they go and bathe
the Cihualtecan girls of my life. (x2)
Ay, yes, yes; ay, no, no.
Ay, yes, yes; ay, no, no.
Ay, yes; ay, no.
Ay, yes; ay, no.
Surely yes, surely no.
You forgot what I told you
and finally yes, and finally no.
Cihualteco of my life,
tell me who baptized you.
Who called you “El Cihualteco”
For me to sing you away? (x2)
Ay, yes, yes; ay, no, no.
Ay, yes, yes; ay, no, no.
Ay, yes; ay, no.
Ay, yes; ay, no.
Tell them yes, tell them no
What they love
I love too
Cihualteco where do you come from
Tell me where you are going
I have a three days’ journey
To the port of San Blas (x2)
Ay, yes, yes; ay, no, no.
Ay, yes, yes; ay, no, no.
Ay, yes; ay, no.
Ay, yes; ay, no.
Surely yes, surely no.
You forgot what I told you
and finally yes, and finally no.
