Lyrics
Ay tituy, ay tituy, ay tituy, quininuy, qnininuy. (repeat)
La piedra que mucho rueda
No sirve para cimiento
Como el hombre sin vergüenza
Que no trata de casamiento.
Translation
“Ay tituy, quininuy” = nonsense syllables
The rock that turns a lot like a wheel
Doesn’t work as a foundation.
Just like a man with no shame
Doesn’t work in a marriage.

De verdad ay tituy quininuy no significa nada? En ningun idioma incluso aborugen?
La verdad, no estoy segura. No soy de Costa Rica. Si alguien sabe, me puede corregir.
