La Señora de los faroles (Una Señora iba)

folk songs

Lyrics

Una señora iba muy de paseo
Rompiendo los faroles con su sombrero
Y al ruido de los vidrios salió el gobernador
A preguntarle a la señora quién ha roto ese farol

Y la señora dijo que yo no he sido
Ha sido mi sombrero por distraído
Si ha sido su sombrero una multa pagará
Para que aprenda su sombrero a caminar por la ciudad

Y el sombrero dijo que yo no he sido
Ha sido mi plumita por distraída
Si ha sido su plumita una multa pagará
Para que aprenda su plumita a caminar por la ciudad

Y la plumita dijo que yo no he sido
Ha sido mi pelito por distraído
Si ha sido su pelito una multa pagará
Para que aprenda su pelito a caminar por la ciudad

Y el pelito dijo que yo no he sido
Ha sido mi piojito por distraído
Si ha sido su piojito una multa pagará
Para que aprenda su piojito a caminar por la ciudad

Y el piojito dijo que yo no he sido
Ha sido la señora por distraída
Si ha sido la señora una multa pagará
Para que aprenda la señora
Para que aprenda el sombrero
Para que aprenda la plumita
Para que aprenda el pelito
Para que aprenda el piojito
A caminar por la ciudad

Translation – The Lady of the Lanterns (The Lady Went)

A lady was going for a walk
Breaking the lanterns with his hat
And because of the noise of the breaking of the glass, the governor came out
To ask the lady who broke that lantern

And the lady said, “It wasn’t me,
It has been my hat because of distraction.”
“If it has been your hat, it will pay a fine
To teach your hat how to walk around the city.”

And the hat said, “It wasn’t me,
It has been my feather because of distraction.”
“If it has been your feather, it will pay a fine
To teach your hat how to walk around the city.”

And the feather said, “It wasn’t me,
It has been my little hair because of distraction.”
“If it has been your little hair, it will pay a fine
To teach your hat how to walk around the city.”

And the little hair said, “It wasn’t me,
It has been my louse because of distraction.”
“If it has been your louse, it will pay a fine
To teach your hat how to walk around the city.”

And the louse said, “It wasn’t me,
It has been the lady because of distraction.”
“If it has been your louse, she will pay a fine
To teach the lady
To teach the hat
To teach the feather
To teach the hair
To teach the louse
How to walk around the city!”
