Que con sus pregones alegraba los rincones
Who, with their street cries, brightened the corners

Su vida la entregó a la piragua y la quemada
She dedicated her life to the canoe and the burn
Y a los turistas conquistaba
And captivated the tourists
Y los ricos no escuchaban
And the rich did not listen
Su vida la entregó a la piragua y la quemada

Get in, sa sa sa sa sa!
