La Romería [English translation]

The lads are going up

with the lambs on their shoulders

the happy people goes up

to the party of the saint

The girls goes up who wears for the first time

shoes, a boyfriend and a purse

and all the green of the valley

is reflected in the crook

And the people by the field

won't stop dancing

while they hear a bagpipe

or there's cider in the winery,

while they hear a bagpipe

or there's cider in the winery.

They go by the road

crossing Cuna y Cenera 1

the pilgrim sings the sorrow

and the old woman her advice

By San Cosme and San Damian 2

be careful early girl

don't pass to the cornfield

don't water it with your tears

There's a steep slope

to reach to the hermitage

and the bells ring

the pilgrims go to mass

and the shepherd with his herd

with his leather bag and his cows

wants to be light or bells

and waking up his lover.
