Alegre m’alegre

Alegre m’alegre

Lyrics

Alegra, m'alegra
va por aceitt
rompe la cuza
va por acituna
rompe el chini
va por bilibis,
bilibí salado,
güevo enhaminado

Debajo la scalerica
hay una calderica
llena llena
de sangre y materia.

Translation

The happy one
went for olive oil
the jug broke
went for olives
the plate broke
went for chickpea salad
and brown long cooked eggs

Under the stairs
there is a little kettle
full, full
of blood and matter
(disgusting things)
