Ni sos blanca y ni morena la color de la perla buena, la sabor de la pimienta, con vuestro primer amor. Vos vení con grande amor para que goces los dos. La novia de gran decencia, mucho es la vuestra querencia atambien de vuestra pacencia con vuestro primer amor. Vos vení con grande amor para que goces los dos.
You are neither white nor dark,
the color of a fine pearl,
the taste of pepper,
with your first love.
Come with great love
so that you may both enjoy it.
The bride of great decency,
much is your affection
also of your patience
with your first love.
Come with great love
so that you may both enjoy it.
