Lyrics and translation Lucha Villa - La Culebra Pollera




La Culebra Pollera
The Skittering Hen
Andandome yo paseando
As I was walking along
Me encontré yo a una muchacha
I came across a young woman
Me dijo: "¿′on' ′ta el cuchillo?"
She said, "Where's your knife?"
Le enseñé la pura cacha
I showed her the plain handle
Si quieres lo afilaremos
If you like, we'll sharpen it
Para darle vuelo a la hilacha
To give some life to the thread
Ayer te estuve esperando
Yesterday, I was waiting for you
Y me dejaste plantada
And you stood me up
Dime si ya no me quieres
Tell me if you don't love me anymore
O que es lo que te ha pasado
Or what has happened to you
Buena jugada me hiciste
You played me a good turn
Procura andar con cuidado
Try to be careful
En la barranca te espero
I'll be waiting for you in the ravine
Debajo de los árcales
Beneath the trees
Como que te hago una seña
As I make a sign to you
Como que te chiflo y sales
As I whistle and you come out
Como que vas a la leña
As if you were going for firewood
Si no eres tonto, ya sabes
If you're not stupid, you know
En el filo de una daga
At the edge of a dagger
Se anda paseando la muerte
Death is wandering
Anda dile a tu querida
Go tell your sweetheart
Que a la noche vengo a verte
That I'll come to see you tonight
A ver si sale un ratito
To see if you'll come out for a while
Para rifarnos la suerte
To play our luck
Suspiro que desde adentro
Sigh that from within
Te sales a divertir
You come out to amuse yourself
Si no has de lograr tu intento
If you're not going to achieve your goal
Deja mi vida vivir
Let me live my life
Suspiro, métete adentro
Sigh, go inside
Que andas dando que decir
You're gossiping
