Cueca Del Balance

My life, what are...
What are they doing, onlookers,
Oh, dark-skinned one, oh, dark one,
Who don't come out to dance.

My life, and those two,
And those two who are dancing,
Oh, dark-skinned one, oh, dark one,
Also want to rest.
Oh, dark-skinned one, oh, dark one,
What are they doing, onlookers.

We don't want onlookers
My life, around here,
Oh, dark-skinned one, oh, dark one,
My life, said the brother-in-law.

Around here, yes,
My life, said my grandfather,
Oh, dark-skinned one, oh, dark one,
My life, with two handkerchiefs.

With two handkerchiefs, yes,
My life, come out, little Pedro.
The balance continues, the swaying continues,
Dance the cueca, dance it well.

Dance it well, oh yes,
My life, let Rosa come out.
The balance continues, the swaying continues,
Dance the cueca, dance it well.

Dance it well, oh yes,
My life, let Juanito come out.
The balance continues, the swaying continues,
Dance the cueca, dance it well.

Dance it well, oh yes,
My life, let Merche come out,
The balance continues, the swaying continues,
Dance the cueca, dance it well.
