Sirilla de La Candelaria

(The text mentions various locations on Chiloé Island, where the festivity of the Virgin of Candelaria is celebrated)

Let's go to Carelmapu
because Candelaria has arrived.
To be seen in the middle of the sea
your mom falls into the water.

Get on board, San Pedro,
get on board, San Pablo,
go up, Mr. Priest,
because the devil stays in Ancud.

In the priest's rowboat
ten rowers are rowing.
The cold burns the hands,
the priest drinks first.

Row, rower,
after the fleet
because Candelaria
is dancing the playfulness.

In the Chacao channel
we were caught by the gust.
The priest fell into the water
and the sea took my mother-in-law.

In the procession
an old lady screams
and my black woman dances
when I sing the playfulness.
