El Manseque

The Manseque
The party's about to start
and the Manseque hasn't shown up
Don’t tell me the kids
have forgotten him so soon
Manseque, Manseque
Manseque the culeque
the chicken, the chicken
the chicken and the rooster.
The ring, the ring
the ring you gave me
was made of glass, was made of glass
was made of glass and it broke.
He lost it in the night
underneath a bridge
Manseque cries
cries for his luck.
Manseque, Manseque
Manseque the culeque
the chicken, the chicken
the chicken and the rooster.
The ring, the ring
the ring you gave me
was made of glass, was made of glass
was made of glass and it broke.
The kids by the river
don't want him to cry
they take him by the arm
they give him flowers.
Manseque, Manseque
Manseque the culeque
the chicken, the chicken
the chicken and the rooster.
The ring, the ring
the ring you gave me
was made of glass, was made of glass
was made of glass and it broke.
Once again you laugh
my friend Manseque
the kids by the river
are happy to see you.
Manseque, Manseque
Manseque the culeque
the chicken, the chicken
the chicken and the rooster.
The ring, the ring
the ring you gave me
was made of glass, was made of glass
was made of glass and it broke.
