Lyrics
¡Ay! Sandunga, Sandunga
mamá por Dios.
Sandunga, no seas ingrata,
Mamá de mi corazón.
Antenoche fui a tu casa,
Tres golpes le di al candado,
tu no sirves para amores
Tienes el sueño pesado.
¡Ay! Sandunga, Sandunga
mamá por Dios.
Sandunga, no seas ingrata,
Mamá de mi corazón.
Me ofreciste acompañarme
Desde la iglesia hasta mi choza,
Pero como no llegaste
Tuve que venirme solo.
A orillas del Papaloapam
Me estaba bañando ayer,
Pasaste por las orillas
Y no quisiste ver.
Estaban dos tortolitas
Arrullándose en su nido,
Y por más luchas que te hice
Te hiciste la desentendida.
¡Ay! Sandunga sí, ¡Ay Sandunga no,
¡Ay! Sandunga del otro lado,
donde quiera que pego un brinco yo,
yo siempre caigo parado.
Mosquito, no mortifiques
Con tus cantos mal sonantes,
Si me cantas no me piques,
Si me picas no me cantes.
Lyrics translation
Ay! Sandunga, Sandunga
mom, for God's sake.
Sandunga, don't be ungrateful,
Mother of my heart.
Antenoche I went to your house,
I hit the padlock three times.,
you're no good for love
You have a heavy sleep.
Ay! Sandunga, Sandunga
mom, for God's sake.
Sandunga, don't be ungrateful,
Mother of my heart.
You offered to join me.
From the church to my hut,
But since you didn't arrive
I had to come alone.
On the banks of the Papaloapam
I was taking a bath yesterday.,
You passed the banks
And you didn't want to see.
There were two lovebirds
Lulling in her nest,
And for all the fights I've done to you
You made a big deal out of it.
Ay! Sandunga yes, oh Sandunga no,
Ay! Sandunga on the other side,
wherever I leap I,
I always stop.
Mosquito, do not mortify
With your bad singing,
If you sing to me don't sting me,
If you bite me, don't sing to me.
