Text:
Oh, qué relumbror de novia hermosa,
que cien años viva bien dichosa.
Vení, mi novia, gozaremos.

Oy, qué arelumbror de ceja en frente,
que viva cien años bien contente,
que salgan a baliar, que las quero ver.

En vuestra buena casa non podés de brasa,
vivan moradores, siempre con amores,
alegres y gozosos y bien saludosos.

Translation:
Oh, what a shining of the lovely bride,
may she live a hundred years in happiness.
Come, my bride, let us rejoice.

Oh, what a gleam from brow and eyebrow,
may she live a hundred years content,
let them come out to dance, I long to see them.

In your good home, may no ember (of discontent) burn,
may its dwellers live always in love,
joyful, rejoicing, and in good health.
