El Chuico Y La Damajuana

Violeta Parra Violeta Parra

The Chuico and the Damajuana

The chuico and the damajuana
After much complaining
To end the gossip
Decide to get married.

They got on a cart
Pulled by green oxen,
One was called chicha
And the companion aguardiente.

Since this happened in winter
And it had rained so much
They had to cross
A river of white wine.

At the church door
They met the priest
Who prayed the mysteries
With a rosary of grapes.

As they only invited
Family members
The godfather was a barrel
And the godmother a pipe.

When they returned from the town
They were received by
A wineskin of white wine
And a wineskin of red wine.

As it was all set up
And to start the party
A glass went out to dance
Waltzes with a bottle.

The party was so lively
And of long duration
That according to a funnel
It lasted until it was over.
