Fata la parte [English translation]

Tell it, tell it everywhere

Mister Cotal's wife is dead!

Because he found her with a Spaniard

alone in the house, so he killed her

he himself escaped, by force and by cunning

Tell it, tell it everywhere

Mister Cotal's wife is dead!

I say so, since I saw him

-O, help me Christ- biting his finger

Screaming and weeping: "Spaniard, watch out!"

Tell it, tell it everywhere

Mister Cotal's wife is dead!

Watch out if I get you, Don Spaniard!

Over my bed i will teach you a lesson

such that if it were written, the letters would weep

Tell it, tell it everywhere

Mister Cotal's wife is dead!

Mister, it seems to me, thanks to her and to me

Let me be and do not worry

it seems bad enough to be, having cuckolded you

Tell it, tell it everywhere

Mister Cotal's wife is dead!
