Estas mesas son del vino, viva la patrona con su marido, los que estan alderedor. Que vivan y logren de quien son, estas mesas, mesas son. Nunca mos manque el pan ni el vino, viva la patrona con su marido, los que estan alderedor. Que vivan y logren de quien son, estas mesas, mesas son.
These tables are of wine,
long live the lady of the house with her husband,
and those who are all around.
May their owners live and succeed these tables, tables they are. May we never lack bread nor wine,
long live the lady of the house with her husband,
and those who are all around.
May their owners live and succeed these tables, tables they are.
