No quiero que a misa vayas
I don't want you to go to mass
Ni a la ventana te asomes
Nor to peek out the window
Ni a la ventanas te asomes
Nor to peek out the windows
Ni tomes agua bendita
Nor to take holy water
Donde la toman los hombres
Where the men take it
Donde la toman los hombres
Where the men take it
Cuatros son la' pelona' que van a misa
There are four bald ones that go to mass
La del medio pelo me da mucha ri-
The one in the middle makes me laugh a lot -
Ay, me da mucha ri-
Oh, it makes me laugh a lot -
Ay me da mucha risa
Oh, it makes me laugh a lot
Imilo mine patrish ora pro nobis
Oh mine, father, now pray for us
Secula seculorum misere novia
Forever and ever, have mercy, bride
A Lundero le da
It gives to Lundero
A Lundero le da zaña
It gives Lundero thorns
A Lundero le da
It gives to Lundero
A Lundero le da zaña, zañita
It gives Lundero thorns, little thorn
A Lundero le da
It gives to Lundero
Vino que del cielo vino
Wine that came from the heavens
Tú me tumbas, tú me matas
You bring me down, you kill me
Tú me tumbas o me matas
You bring me down or you kill me
Tú me haces andar a gatas
You make me crawl on my knees
Pero yo siempre te empino
But I always lift you up
Pero yo siempre te empino
But I always lift you up
Dime de dónde vienes a esta hora
Tell me where you're coming from at this hour
Vengo de la pampa de segar totora
I'm coming from the pampas to cut the totora
Ay, de segar tot-
Oh, to cut the tot-
Ay, de segar totora
Oh, to cut the totora
¿Qué llevas en el pelo que huele tanto?
What do you have in your hair that smells so sweet?
Azafrán de can-, romero santo

A Lundero le es es es

Goza, goza, goza, goza
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy, enjoy
A Lundero le da

A Lundero le da

A Lundero le da zaña con vodka
Lundero gets that thrill with vodka

Le da, le da, le da, le da
It hits, it hits, it hits, it hits
Le da, le da, a Lundero le da
