And the tamarind hill
Y la loma del tamarindo

I climb onto the ranch and hang it.
Me subo al rancho y lo guindo
Because it looked prettier

Remember the ball game
Recuerda del juego de bola
Where Cenón lived

That I am leaving the region

Do you remember Doña Lola?
Te acuerdas de Doña Lola
From Cheo, Tocón and Sindo

My good old man worked
Mi buen viejo trabajaba
That day and night he fought

Pero no me rindo y yo tampoco precinto
From the days of my childhood
De los días de mi infancia
Although it lost its elegance
Aunque perdió su elegancia
Tamarind Hill

Ya son las seis va a amanecer
Compay José, yoke the ox
Compay José, enyugue el buey
It's already six o'clock, it's about to dawn
