Señora Santana
¿Por qué llora el niño?
Por una manzana
Que se le ha perdido.
Ya no llores niño
Aquí tengo dos*
Una pa' la Virgen
Y otra para ti.
Mrs. Santana
Why is the baby crying?
Because of an apple
That he has lost.
Don't cry baby
I have here two,
One for the Virgin
And the other for you.
Notes
*This line was sent to me as, "Aquí tengo dos manzanas" (Here I have two apples), but most versions have it as "Aquí tengo dos" (Here I have two).
