Lyrics
Santa Leoncia de Farfn
De la Quebrada de Reyes
Baja a las carpas de Yala
Con setenta aos que tiene
La harina del Carnaval
Le pensamienta las sienes
Cuando sobre el mujero
Su canto finito crece
(Estribillo)
Alegre como pocas
Doa Santa se amanece
El manantial de sus coplas va
Por senderos viejos
El manantial de sus coplas va
Despenando su soledad
No hay una pena de amor
Que por su boca no queme
Ni hay en la carpa baguala
Que por ella no se queje
La chicha al amanecer
En los ojos se le duerme
Hasta que un golpe de caja
Cantando la reverdece
Lyrics translation
Santa Leoncia De Farfn
From the Quebrada de Reyes
Get down to the Yala tents
With seventy aos he has
The carnival flour
He thought his temples
When about the Womanizer
On finished singing grows
(Chorus)
Happy as a few
Doa Santa dawns
The spring of their couplas goes
By old paths
The spring of their couplas goes
Pouring out his loneliness
There is no pity for love
Let it not burn through his mouth
Nor is there in the baguala tent
Don't complain about her.
The chicha at dawn
In his eyes he falls asleep
Until a cash shot
Singing the greets
