Cueca de los Refranes

Oh, at the oven door
the bread burns.
Whoever approaches a good tree
is sheltered by good shade
In the little shade,
they say love is blind
Don't forget, girl,
that the habit doesn't make the monk.
Always do good
without looking at who it's for,
Oh, at the oven door
the bread burns.

(Chorus)

A parrot told me, oh yes,
not everything that glitters is gold,
oh yes, a parrot told me,
darn, it came & went.
The devil knows more because he's old,
oh oh oh, than for being the devil.
Better late than never,
life, because time is gold.
Time is gold, girl,
time is gold
says the refrain,
darn pretty, that man
doesn't only live on bread.
