Canastos

Love is not to be played with,
Oh, baskets! that's worse.

Miss,
I've been waiting for you for a long time
enduring the downpour
to tell you that I love you
even if you don't allow it.

Baskets!

What do you answer?

Sir,
I have never been in love
leave me for a while
because I don't trust at all
a passing affection.

Baskets!

Please, leave!

Love is not to be played with,
Oh, baskets! that's worse,
because love, when it comes,
is, baskets!, the best.

Miss,
I offer you fortune
the stars one by one
with the sun and the moon
and the love that beats here.

Baskets!

You see that I am serious.

Oh, young man!,
I don't care about wealth
nor have I lost my mind
if I tell you frankly
that I need a husband.

Baskets!

Marriage is the best.

Love is not to be played with,
Oh, baskets! that's worse.

My dear,
whenever you want I am ready
to make the budget
of how expensive it has become
to go through the church.

Baskets!

That's why we are two.

Love is not to be played with,
Oh, baskets! that's worse,
because love, when it comes,
is, baskets!, the best.
