Pinto, pinto, gorgorito,
vende las cabras a veinticinco.
Tengo un buey en el corral
que sabe arar y trompicar
y dar las vueltas a la redonda.
- ¿En qué lugar?
- En Portugal.
- ¿En qué calleja?
- En la Moraleja.
- Esconde esa mano
que viene la vieja.
Speckled, speckled trill
Sells the goats at twenty-five*.
I have an ox in a pen
That can plough and tumble
And turn around.
In what place?
In Portugal.
In what alley?
In the Moraleja**
Hide this hand
Because the old woman's coming.
