La Petrona
Tú eres la linda Petrona,
Clavel de Tehuantepec.
Tú eres la linda Petrona,
Clavel de Tehuantepec.
Rosa de Castilla en rama,
Ay, Petrona, cortada al amanecer.
Rosa de Castilla en rama,
Ay, Petrona, cortada al amanecer.
En el jardín del amor, ay, Petrona,
Se para un pájaro a ver.
En el jardín del amor, ay, Petrona,
Se para un pájaro a ver.
Después de picar la flor, ay, Petrona,
No quiso permanecer.
Después de picar la flor, ay, Petrona,
No quiso permanecer.
Petronita de mi vida,
Pertonita mi adorada.
Petronita de mi vida,
Pertonita mi adorada.
No te quiero por bonita, ay, Petrona,
Sino por mujer honrada.
No te quiero por bonita, ay, Petrona,
Sino por mujer honrada.
- Rosa de Castilla:

Petrona
You're the lovely Petrona
Carnation of Tehuantepec
You're the lovely Petrona
Carnation of Tehuantepec.
The tree branch of the rosa gallica1
Oh, Petrona, is cut at dawn
The tree branch of rosa gallica
Oh, Petrona, is cut at dawn.
In the garden of love, oh, Petrona,
A bird stops to see.
In the garden of love, oh, Petrona,
A bird stops to see.
After pecking the flower, oh Petrona,
It didn't want to remain
After pecking the flower, oh Petrona,
It didn't want to remain.
Little Petrona of my life,
Little Petrona, my beloved
Little Petrona of my life,
Little Petrona, my beloved.
I don't love you because you're beautiful oh Petrona
rather, for being an honorable woman
I don't love you for being lovely, oh Petrona
rather, for being an honorable woman.
