Mama Pancha

I sing to you Mama Pancha
Midwife and praying woman
Ja jay, if only they could see you
With your bottle

I sing to you Mama Pancha
Midwife and praying woman
Ja jay, if only they could see you
With your bottle

They say the Lord's Prayer
That you prayed for your land
You take it on your lips
Your land has not changed

What misery
In your vast land
Who would have thought
My Mama Pancha
What misery
In your vast land
Who would have thought
My Mama Pancha

To your song Mama Pancha
Don't let the doctor see it
The priest comes to the chapel
Every end of the month
But your 'I believe in you' is gone
When Uncle Juan
When Uncle Juan left you

They say the Lord's Prayer
That you prayed for your land
You take it on your lips
Your land has not changed

What misery
In your vast land
Who would have thought
My Mama Pancha
What misery
In your vast land
Who would have thought
My Mama Pancha

Corral, corral, corral
There's no sun in the 'quebrá'
To eat the mazamorra
The jorrita must be milked
Corral, corral, corral
There's no sun in the 'quebrá'
To eat the mazamorra
The jorrita must be milked

Jue, jue, jue juja
Jue, jue, jue juja

And you count dead ones
In the rosary beads
But oh world Mama Pancha
What a long rosary
But oh world Mama Pancha
How long your rosary is

Jue, jue, jue juja
Jue, jue, jue juja

(spoken)
'only Juan Ramón knew
Where there was dry firewood
Because the green one smokes
And it leaves you blind'

Corral, corral, corral
There's no sun in the 'quebrá'
To eat the mazamorra
The jorrita must be milked
Corral, corral, corral
Jo, jo, jo
Corral, corral, corral
Corral, corral, corral
