La Bruja

¡Ay! que bonito es volar
a las dos de la mañana
a las dos de la mañana
¡ay! que bonito es volar, ¡ay mamá!
 
A volar y dejarse caer
en los brazos de una dama,
ay! que bonito es volar,
a las dos de la mañana, ¡ay mamá!.
 
Me agarra la bruja
me lleva a su casa,
me vuelve maceta
y una calabaza.
 
Me agarra la bruja
me lleva al cerrito,
me vuelve maceta
y un calabazito.
 
¡Ay! dígame, dígame,
dígame usted,
¿cuántas criaturitas
se ha chupado usted?
 
Ninguna, ninguna,
ninguna no sé,
ando en pretenciones
de chuparme a usted.
 
¡Ay! me espantó una mujer, ¿a dónde?
en medio del mar salado,
en medio del mar salado,
¡ay! me espantó una mujer, ¡ay mamá!
 
¿Por qué no queria creer
lo que otros me habian contado?
lo de arriba era mujer
y lo de abajo pezcado, ¡ay mamá!
 
Cuando a mi mujer la encuentro acostada
le jalo las colchas no me dice nada
cuando a mi mujer la encuentro durmiendo
le jalo las colchas y salgo corriendo
 
¡Ay! dígame, dígame
dígame usted
¿cuántas criaturitas
se ha chupado usted?
 
Ninguna, ninguna
ninguna no sé,
ando en pretenciones
de chuparme a usted.
 
A la bruja me encontre
en el aire iba volando
en el aire iba volando
a la bruja me encontré, ¡ay mamá!
 
Entonces le pregunté:
que ¿a quién andaba buscando?
me dijo: ¿Quién es usted?
soy cantador de huapango, ¡ay mamá!
 
Escóndete Chepa,
escóndete Juana,
que ahí anda la bruja
debajo de la cama.
 
Escóndete Chepa
escóndete Joba,
que ahí anada la bruja
volando en su escoba.
 
¡Ay! dígame, dígame
dígame usted
¿cuántas criaturitas
se ha chupado usted?
 
Ninguna, ninguna
ninguna no sé,
ando en pretenciones
de chuparme a usted.
 
Translation

The Witch

Oh! how wonderful it is to fly
at two in the morning
at two in the morning
oh! how wonderful it is to fly, oh woman!
 
To fly and let yourself fall
in the arms of a lady,
oh! how wonderful it is to fly
at two in the morning, oh woman!
 
The witch grabs me
she takes me to her house
she turns me into a pot
and into a pumpkin.
 
The witch grabs me
she takes me to the little hill
she turns me into a pot1
and into a little pumpkin.2
 
Oh! you must tell me,
tell me, tell me
how many little ones
have you drank from?3
 
None, none
none, I don't know
I just want to
drink from you.
 
Oh! I was frightened by a woman, where?
in the middle of the salty sea
in the middle of the salty sea
oh! I was frightened by a woman, oh woman!
 
Why didn't I want to believe
what others had told me?
from above she was a woman
from below she was a fish, oh woman!
 
When I found my wife lying down
I pulled the covers, she says nothing
when I found my wife asleep
I pulled the covers and I ran out.
 
Oh! you must tell me,
tell me, tell me
how many little ones
have you drank from?
 
None, none
none, I don't know
I just want to
drink from you.
 
I found the witch
she was flying in the wind
she was flying in the wind
I found the witch, oh woman!
 
So I asked her:
"who are you looking for?"
she replied: "who are you?"
"I'm a huapango singer, oh woman!"
 
Hide your happiness,
hide Juana,
there's a witch
underneath the bed.
 
Hide your happiness
hide Joba,
there's a witch out there
flying on her broom.
 
Oh! you must tell me,
tell me, tell me
how many little ones
have you drank from?
 
None, none
none, I don't know
I just want to
drink from you.

  • 2. alternatively 'and she kisses me'
  • 3. the original word is 'sucked', but the meaning is the same, he's asking if she has drunk the blood of anyone lately.
