Tres Gotas de Agua Bendita

In the countryside sits my grandmother Luciana
Who, although old and tired, gets up early
Right at the crow of a rooster and the strum of my guitar
She dresses in white for the day's work.

And before hitting the road to her neighbors' house
She puts a glass of water for her deceased husband's angel
And so that nothing is missing throughout the day
She takes out her red handkerchief and a bit of holy water.

One, two, three, three drops of holy water
And your back pain is cured and your vision clears
One, two, three, three drops of holy water
With holy water, dear, all your troubles disappear
One, two, three, three drops of holy water
And a bit of mint, nightmares are cured
Three drops of holy water and your future becomes clear
May you never lack work and go to the ends of the earth.

As the years went by, my grandmother couldn't understand
That the world is progressing, that medicine exists
That there are computers, that there is geography
That not everything is solved by bathing in holy water, no, no.

One, two, three, three drops of holy water
For a headache, you don't need aspirin
One, two, three, three drops of holy water
And a bit of mint relieves your nightmares
One, two, three, three drops of holy water
To cure your spasm and never feel envy... envious!... a-ha
One, two, three, three drops of holy water
So the boy next door greets you good morning
Three drops of holy water and your future becomes clear
May you never lack work and go to the ends of the earth.

My grandmother with holy water, but me... with sugar!
Hey, Celia, do you have some sugar over there?
Oh, we left Gloria out, but she also has... sugar!

One, two, three drops of holy water
For the pain, for the pain, for the headache
Of holy water
Oh, my grandmother doesn't live if she doesn't have the taste
Of holy water
With your handkerchief in hand
Hey, Gloria, is that handkerchief from Guatalaja?... what?
Of holy water
So that nothing, so that nothing, so that nothing is missing
Of holy water
Oh, my grandmother, if she sees the internet, she thinks it's
Of holy water
Holy water, holy water, how delicious
Of holy water
Holy water for you, holy water for me, and for my grandmother
Of holy water.

That's my grandmother. I love her madly.
And you too, Celia
Three drops of holy water.
