Vengan a mi casamiento

Come to My Wedding
Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you
that I'm getting married on Sunday,
bring me a hundred shots
and ladies like flowers,
I've got plenty of liquor
for the inside table,
the outside ones at the same time
and I'll pour from jugs
and I say with confidence
come to my wedding.
I have fifty sheep,
also two hundred roosters,
my workers are quite helpful
and just as many woodcutters,
I've got two granaries of potatoes
and they'll say that's not true,
two hundred turkeys are dead
for a stew to be made,
friends are invited,
come to my wedding.
I have to celebrate
first for my relatives
because I need to serve them
ten barrels of liquor,
I've got twenty of mistela,
I won't count the cooks,
I've got a hundred staff
to set the table
and I say honestly,
come to my wedding.
I prepare in advance
to take care of my friends
because I need to serve them
forty barrels of wine,
I've got fine cigars
and good stuff, why should I lie,
there's also lodging
for anyone who wants to stay,
there won't be a shortage of food,
come to my wedding.
For the whole crew
little sticks of vine,
if you don't want to go hungry
come to my wedding.
I haven't invited anyone
because there's nothing to give them,
a seat to sit on
no one has wanted to lend,
and everything at the wedding
has turned into pure fluff,
and everything at the wedding
has turned into pure fluff.
