Señora Santana
¿por qué llora el niño?
Por una manzana
que se le ha perdido.
Véngase a mi casa
yo le daré dos,
¡una para el niño,
y otra para vos!
Mrs Santana,
Why is the boy crying?
Because of an apple,
That he lost.
Come to my house,
I'll give you two,
One for the boy,
And another for you!
Notes
"Señora Santana" is "Señora Santa Ana" i.e. Lady Saint Anne (Mary's mother).
