Pichicuas

Pichicuás and Cupertino
They started playing marbles.
Pichicuás asking for a turn;
Cupertino, "rinincola, tail and behind"

A line and a little hole
They painted on the ground of the lot.
It was warned that "Three and the strong",
That "eating hand is forbidden"
And that "Don't throw to the one who's out"
That "the chiras are on target"
That "there are skeletons and doves"
And "The drowned one is dead".

My Pichicuás: Cupertino follows you.
My Pichicuás: he wants to beat you.
If you already have them, aim with skill.
My Pichicuás: you have to strike him.

Pichicuás and Cupertino
They started to win marbles.
As they played for keeps
Good shots changed places.

Cupertino cheating
And many tricks to beat Pichicuás.
Pichicuás who strikes him,
Cupertino who refuses to pay.
-You pay me my marbles-;
and the punches start,
Oh, mom, how ugly it is to play!

My Pichicuás: never play for keeps.
My Pichicuás: it's better to play for fun.
It's not right to win and hit them,
What will your teacher say about you?

I, like you, was also a troublemaker.
I, like you, was also very talkative.
But once I got into it with the "güero"
And you see: my grudge ended!
