Chigüina de barrio
Little girl from the neighborhood
Mocosa descalza,
Barefoot brat,
Jugando rayuela
Playing hopscotch
Bajando guayabas gritando
Picking guavas, shouting
tonteras, después de la escuela.
Nonsense, after school.
Cipota aguerrida
Brave girl
Jefa de pandilla,
Leader of the gang,
comprando bombones.
Buying candies.
Feliz ganadora de toda pelea
Happy winner of every fight
Contra los varones.
Against the boys.
Reina de la lluvia
Queen of the rain
Dueña de los charcos
Owner of the puddles
Si te da la gana
If you feel like it
Mamá de muñecas
Mama of dolls
amiga de pájaros
Friend of the birds
sapos y ranas.
Toads and frogs.
Cipota traviesa
Naughty little girl
Patoja de mi alma
Sweetheart of my soul
Sandía y melón,
Watermelon and melon,
Semilla de patria
Seed of the homeland
La pájara pinta
The painted bird
En un verde limón.
On a green lime.
Y no te cansás
And you never tire
De tu dale que dale
Of your go, go, go
Feliz, dando guerra.
Happy, causing a stir.
En repostería no existen mejores
In pastry, there are no better
Pasteles de tierra.
Earth cakes.
Subida en un mango
Climbing on a mango
haciendo la tarea
Doing the homework
manchando el vestido
Staining the dress
o haciendo mandados
or running errands
que a medio camino
that halfway there
mandás al olvido .
you send to oblivion.
Cipota de barrio
Neighborhood girl
Mocosa descalza,
Barefoot little one,
Jugando rayuela
Playing hopscotch
Bajando guayabas gritando
Down the guavas shouting
tonteras, después de la escuela.
silly things after school.
