Lyrics
Yo era chiquitita
Jugaba con mi novio
Jugaba en el arroyo
(bis)
Palo mayimbe
Me llevas p’a la loma
Me llevas p’a la loma
Eh, me llevas p’a la loma
Me llevas p’a la loma
Echame un hueso en la halda, carnicero, que sea gordito
Que sea bien gordito
y con bastante manteca
(bis)
(Gracias a Humberto Beltran Achury por esta letra)
Lyrics translation
I was a little girl.
I was playing with my boyfriend.
He was playing in the creek
(bis)
Palo mayimbe
You take me to the hill
You take me to the hill
Hey, you're taking me to the hill
You take me to the hill
Throw me a bone in the halda, Butcher, let me be fat
Let him be fat.
and with plenty of butter
(bis)
