El Cantarito
Miguel Aceves Mejía
The Little Jug
When you go down to the stream
And walk carrying the water,
I'll wait for you at the well.
And after we chat
And I kiss you on the lips,
I'll bring you the little jug.
Just in case they suspect
And discover the scheme
And find us talking
I'll grab the little jug
And I'll tell them a lie,
That I was helping you.
If I break the little jug
For being careless
We'll have an agreement
I'll pay you right away
You'll see the money
That I give to my father-in-law.
If my father-in-law scolds me,
Because of the little jug
Distract him with lies
Keep it hidden
Where no one can grab it
But don't show it to anyone.
If I break the little jug
For being careless
We'll have an agreement
I'll pay you right away
You'll see the money
That I give to my father-in-law.
