Galician Mess (The Wheel)

What your parents did,
to make you a seamstress,
when it rains you don't get wet,
when it rains you don't get wet,
when it's sunny you don't get burned.

I have a brunette,
in Viascon,
I have another in Puebla,
and another in Marcon,
and another in Marcon, (Repeat)
I have a brunette in Viascon.

It's very hard to wash,
don't marry a blacksmith,
it's very hard to wash,
marry a sailor
who comes washed from the sea, (Repeat)
Oh and lelo, oh and la lo.

Chorus
Even though I'm from the coast, I'm a coast girl,
the wheelwright of the cart I carry in my hand,
I carry in my hand a brunette, I carry in my hand,
even though I'm from the coast, I'm a coast girl.

With the hoop of a sieve
my mother gave me a beating
with the hoop of a sieve
my mother should be ashamed
people from the fair are coming, the fair are coming
people from the fair are coming, the fair are coming
Oh and lelo, oh and lalo,

Chorus
Even though I'm from the coast, I'm a coast girl
