Buenas noches, San José

Goodnight, San Jose,
and in the company of his wife,
here I am in your presence
if I can be of any use.
Where is San Jose?
Where is San Jose?
With the child and Mary, the three.

Lady Dona Maria,
here my mother sent us
to sing for nine days,
we, the people of Pomaire.

Lady Dona Maria,
a little bunch of lemongrass,
for your little child I bring
two meters of pigtail.
