Text:
La novia destrenza el pelo
se desmaya el caballero

Ay novia vente a mi lado
gozaras vicio y regalo

Gozaras de buen marido
Quitaras ansia y suspiro

Ay novia de la cara blanca
Donde su novio se resmirara

Translation:
The bride unbraids her hair,
the groom faints away.

Ah, bride, come to my side,
you will enjoy pleasure and delight.

You will enjoy a good husband,
you will remove longing and sighing.

Ah, bride with the white face,
where her her groom's gaze is reflected
