La Zandunga
The other night I went to your house
I knocked three times on the padlock
You're not good for love
You have a heavy sleep
Oh! Sandunga, sandunga
Mother of God
Sandunga, don't be ungrateful
Mother of my heart
Passing by your window
You threw a lemon at me
The lemon hit me in the face
And the juice in my heart
Oh! Sandunga, sandunga
Mother of God
Sandunga, don't be so mean
Mother of my heart
I dreamed of you asleep
Asleep you were still
But as I reached oblivion
I dreamed you were awake
Oh! Sandunga, sandunga
Mother of God
Sandunga, don't be so mean
Oh! Mother of my heart
