El carretero [English translation]

There's no more horrible life

than the one of the poor cart driver

with the prod in the hand

prodding the ox on front

Front... huella... huella... güey

Fellow of my life,

beware that ditch,

don't let the rod get broken

prod that ox of white tail

White tail... huella... huella... güey

I went out of Montevideo

towards my home

my woman might be saying:

"my husband brings a silk kerchief"

Silk kerchief... huella... huella... güey
