La Juana Rosa

(tune)

Get ready Juan Rosa
I have an invitation
Tomorrow thresh a mare
At the house of the Assumption.

Put on your new robe
A flower in each braid
You have to look pretty
In case the horsefly bites.

You're twenty-five,
Rosita and Rosá,
Go to the spinster
You should think.
Go and come back powdered
Put on lipstick
And now to the threshing floor
Happy and content.

There is no young girl who hasn't
In all this surrounding area
Found in some threshing floor
Relief for her heart.

The one who says it is your mother
In the threshing floor Juan met
And in the threshing floor your cousin
The husband she has today.

Hurry up Juan Rosa
The train goes very fast
But if we go to the threshing floor
Don't stay on the platform.

Because I also need
A son-in-law to love.
Let's go to the threshing floor, and a grandson
You would give me for my old age.
