Mira Juan lo que te dixe
no se te olvide.
Mira Juan lo que te dixe
en barrio ageno
no me cortes una rueca
de aquel ciruelo
De aquel ciruelo te dixe
no se te olvide.
Heed what I told you, Juan
do not forget it.
Remember, Juan, what I told you
outside my house;
to cut me a distaff
from that plum tree over there.
From that plum tree over there, I told you,
do not forget it.
