Doña Estefaldina [English translation]

Mrs Estefaldina hates freemasons,

She prays for the contributions decrease,

She ticks off the maidens with a hunk

And oppresses her metayers in the rents,

She turns her huge halls into barns

Gives good words to who cries bread

Mrs Estefaldina recounts the points

Of time and the sowings doing suspicions,

And when in the plaza comes the priest,

she folds her sock, she asks for the shawl

She fastens pins, and with a dock

She runs to the novena like a dog

Mrs Estefaldina, blood of the Vargas,

She waves her sock in the long evenings

Under the fierce eaves that the sparrow bites

And with what ceremony in the gestures

responds to the salute of the priests

Mrs Estefaldina from her balcony!
