Una moneda dando vuelta en el aire

Cayó del lado de la apuesta de alguien

Por varias vendieron al hijo del hombre

De un lado esclavo y del otro un liberto

Allá en lo' patio por el lao' del aljibe
There in the 'patio by the side' of the cistern
El fantasma de un bucanero que ahí vive

En medio e' un sueño me lo vino a enseña'
In the middle of a dream he showed me it
Busca la pala, pa' que cuando la luna

Se ponga oscura como sangre cuajá
Turn dark as curdled blood
Abramo' el hoyo pa' saca' la botija
We open the hole to take out the botija
Que to mi muerto a mí me tienen gualdá

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Den eldste I blandt oss har falt
Den eldste I blandt oss har falt
Den frommeste gravlegges med ham
Den from meste gravlegges med ham
Du hevdet at du var blitt kalt
Du hevdet at du var blitt kalt
Steg ut fra din linje og skam
Steg ut fra din linje og skam
Du trådde ut av din avmakt
Du trådde ut av din avmakt
Gjorde deg selv til en utvalgt
Gjorde deg selv til en utvalgt
Før var du blendet og bergtatt
For var du blendet og bergtatt
Nå er du våken og hauglagt
Nå er du våken og hauglagt
Nå er du våken og hauglagt
Nå er du våken og hauglagt
Llegó la rebusera
the rebusera arrived
Mambera y gagasera
mambera and gagasera
Le gusta a todo el mundo
everyone likes it
Como de oro una moneda
like gold a coin
Si no te entera'
If you don't find out
E'to cuero no te esperan
E'to leather do not wait for you
El terror cerró su escuela
Terror closed his school
Y soy la única heredera
And I'm the only heir
Hola moneda, hay que hace'la
Hello coin, you have to do it
Hay que hace'la
You have to do it
Hola moneda, hay que hace'la
