Que susto más grande pase
What a big scare happened
Cuando se quemaba la maya
When the maya burned
Allí perdí mi gallito roncón
There I lost my snoring rooster
Allí perdí mi gallina
There I lost my chicken
Allí perdí a los sobrinos
There I lost my nephews
De aquel famoso gallo e morón
Of that famous rooster and morón
También perdí a la comadre
I also lost my mother
Que no quiso bautizar
who did not want to baptize
Porque me quede pelao
Because I was left bald
Sin gallo y sin platanal
Without rooster and without plantain
Sin platanal no valgo na
Without banana I'm worthless
No valgo na sin platanal
I'm not worth anything without plantain
Y quien te bautizo
And who baptized you?
Y quien te bautizo
And who baptized you?
Y quien te bautizo, Vicenta
And who baptized you, Vicenta?
Y quien te bautizo, tu hijo
And who baptized you, your son
Vicenta, tu hijo
Vicenta, your son
La vieja no quiere cuentos
The old woman doesn't want stories
Ni cosas de enamoraos
Not even things about falling in love
Aquel que se sienta casao
He who feels married
No debe enamorar señoritas
You shouldn't fall in love with ladies
Si los sorprende la vieja
If the old woman surprises you
Lo saca por el tejao
He takes it out through the roof
La vieja no quiere cuentos
The old woman doesn't want stories
Ni cosas de enamoraos
Not even things about falling in love
Y quién te bautizo
And who baptized you
Y quién te bautizo
And who baptized you
Y quién te bautizo, Vicenta
And who baptized you, Vicenta
Y quién te bautizo, tu hijo
And who baptized you, your son
