A song mockingly comparing the guests from the groom's family with those form the bride's side. Those of the bride's side eat fish, those of the groom's side just lick the plates The Chorus: Those of the bride's side are what they are, those from the groom's side are much better. Those of the bride's side eat fritters, those of the groom's side eat plums.

Text:
Las de la novia comen pescado,
las del novio lamben los platos.
Que las de la novia son lo que son,
que las del novio mas mijor son.

Las de la novia comen birmuelos,
las del novio comen ciruelos.
Que las de la novia son lo que son,
 que las del novio mas mijor son.

Translation:
Those of the bride eat fish
Those of the groom lick the plates
Those of the bride's side are what they are, 
those from the groom's side are much better. 

Those of the bride eat fritters
Those of the groom eat plums
Those of the bride's side are what they are, 
those from the groom's side are much better.
