La Cocinerita

Wooden knife, slim and sharp
Little clay pot, I have bought her
I have bought her, for my cook

And with my drum I come singing
Coplas from Tilcara because we are already
Because we are already, in the middle of the carnival

Chili plant, plant and tomato
Where will my little cook be, drinking mate? (repeat)

Why does my party end with a sigh
To Doña Pispira, where they invite
Where they invite, with goat cheese

Coca leaf, ground rami
Little basil branch, I have bought her
I have bought her, for my cook

Chili plant, plant and tomato
Where will my little cook be, drinking mate? (repeat)
