Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Pío Pío by Sonora Ponceña from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se oye el rumor de un pregonar
The rumor of a preaching is heard
El yerberito llegó, llegó
The yerberito arrived, arrived
Traigo yerba santa pa' la garganta
I bring yerba santa for the throat
Traigo keisimon pa' la hinchazón
I bring keisimon for the swelling
Traigo abrecaminos pa' tu destino
I bring road openers for your destiny
Traigo la ruda pa' el que estornuda
I bring the rue for the one who sneezes
También traigo albahaca pa' la gente flaca
I also bring basil for skinny people
El apazote para los brotes
The scourge for sprouts
El vetiver para el que no ve
Vetiver for the blind
Y con esa yerba se casa usted
And with that weed you marry
Traigo yerba santa pa' la garganta
I bring yerba santa for the throat
Traigo keisimon pa' la hinchazón
I bring keisimon for the swelling
Traigo abrecaminos pa' tu destino
