Lyrics
Ya salió mi caporal
Con su chicote en la mano
Panalivio malivio san
Se parece al mal ladrón
Capitán de bandoleros
Panalivio malivio san
Yo me corté con la hoz
Ya me sale mucha sangre
Panalivio malivio san
No es la sangre que me sale
Sino que me mata el hambre
Panalivio malivio san
Zancudito me picó
(salamanqueja me mordió)
Malhaya sea ese zancudo
(malhaya sea que me pico)
Zancudito por aquí
(zancudito por allá)
Malhaya sea este zancudo (malhaya sea que me picó)
Que me picó, que me picó
(en la punta el corazón)
English:
Here comes the slavedriver
With a whip in his hand
Panalivio malivio san
He looks like a thief
Captain of bandits
Panalivio malivio san
I’ve cut myself with a sickle
And I’m bleeding profusely
Panalivio malivio san
It’s not blood that pours out of me
It’s the hunger that’s killing me
Panalivio malivio san
The mosquito stung me
(the salamander bit me)
Cursed be that mosquito
(cursed for biting me)
Mosquito over here
(mosquito over there)
Cursed be that mosquito (cursed for biting me)
It stung me
(on the tip of my heart)
Lyrics translation
My corporal's out.
With his WHIP in his hand
Panalivio malivio san
Looks like the Bad Thief
Captain of bandits
Panalivio malivio san
I cut myself with the sickle
I've got a lot of blood coming out.
Panalivio malivio san
It's not the blood that comes out of me
But it kills me hunger
Panalivio malivio san
I got stung.
(Salamanca bit me)
Malhaya be that zancudo
(malhaya be that I sting)
Zancudito over here
(grumpy over there)
Malhaya be this zancudo (malhaya be that stung me)
It stung me, it stung me
(at the tip the heart)
