(English)
Arroz con leche se quiere casar
con una viudita de la capital.
Que sepa tejer, que sepa bordar
que ponga la aguja en su mismo lugar
Contigo sí, contigo no
contigo mi vida me casaré yo.
Rice pudding, would like to marry
The little widow from the capital
She must know how to sew, she must know how to knit
She must put the needle back where it belongs
With you yes, with you no
With you, my love (or life), I will one day wed.
If you click on the first mp3 below you'll hear Arroz con leche sung in Spanish. The second mp3 is Arroz con leche played on piano.
