Porque van a hacer un guiso de pollitos en arroz

¡Anda Lázaro Patricio tu sombrero va volando!
Hey Lázaro Patricio, your hat is flying away!
Por el aire va diciendo que este amor se va acabando

Yo a ese pollo le pregunto que si es gallo o una gallina
I ask that chicken if it's a rooster or a hen.
