Lyrics - Spanish
(Teodora Ginés, Cuba, c. 1562)
¿Donde está la Ma’ Teodora?”
Rajando la leña está.
¿Con su palo y su bandola?
Rajando la leña está.
¿Donde está que no la veo?
Rajando la leña está,
Rajando la leña está….
English Translation - Ma Teodora
Where is Ma’ Teodora?”
[She] is chopping wood,
With her cane and her mandolin?
[She] is chopping wood,
Where is she, I don’t see her?
[She] is chopping wood,
[She] is chopping wood…
