Las Pilanderas (dúo Matilde Díaz)
Celia Cruz
The Pilanderas (duet Matilde Díaz)
Mrs. Juana María
Look, the day is catching up with me
Iron my pants
I want to arrive
To be able to celebrate
The birthday of the Virgin
Of my tropical town
Let them come from Santa Marta
Let them come to dance
To the rhythm of the pilanderas
Of my tropical town
But let them come from Santa Marta
Let them come to dance
To the rhythm of the pilanderas
Of my tropical town
Tell the pilanderas
To bring corn, panela
To make the chicha e'mojo
And send for the pestle
Where compa Pantaleón is
And four boxes of candles
To burn in the cumbión
Let them come from Santa Marta
Let them come to dance
To the rhythm of the pilanderas
Of my tropical bank
But let them come from Santa Marta
Let them come to dance
To the rhythm of the pilanderas
Of my tropical bank
Oh pile, pile, pilandera
Christmas Eve is coming
Oh pile, pile, pilandera
Listen, but let it come, let it come good
Oh pile, pile, pilandera
Bring corn, panela
Oh pile, pile, pilandera
Corn, panela, and sugar too
Oh pile, pile, pilandera
What a pile, pile, what a pile, pile, let it die
Oh pile, pile, pilandera
Christmas Eve is coming
Oh pile, pile, pilandera
Mrs. Juana María, the day is coming
Oh pile, pile, pilandera
Bring corn, panela
Pile, pile, pile, pilanderas
Pile, pile, pilanderas
Pile, pile, pilanderas
Pile, pile, pilanderas
