La Sutiabeña
Camilo Zapata
The Sutiaba Woman
With the flower of the Sacuanjoche
I will make a Rosary
To give it to you at night
So you give me your love
Dark-skinned woman from Sutiaba
Straight hair, brown skin
Give me a kiss of olive
Today, how big the Moon is
And I have my shirt inside out
If your ear has wax
Let me kiss, at least
Your paper heart
My cabin, with ocote wood legs
A lantern for light
And on the bedside table
A whole barrel
A pillow of burlap, those sack-sized ones
Filled with sawdust
That's how we lovers are
All good and without money
Careful until the end
If you come, come quickly
Because at the turn of the pasture
They are waiting for me
A million whirlwinds
Could not stop
Me from walking that path
That leads to your love
Dark-skinned woman from Sutiaba
Hurry up to come
I have waited for you so long
Leave everything locked
Come, woman, here
In my ranch, there's plenty of beans
You provide the labor
I'll put the pants on the barrel
My cabin, with ocote wood legs
A lantern for light
And on the bedside table
A whole barrel
A pillow of burlap, those sack-sized ones
Filled with sawdust
That's how we lovers are
All good and without money
Careful until the end
If you come, come quickly
Because at the turn of the pasture
They are waiting for me
If you come, come quickly
Because at the turn of the pasture
They are waiting for me
