The lads are going up
with the lambs on their shoulders
the happy people goes up
to the party of the saint
The girls goes up who wears for the first time
shoes, a boyfriend and a purse
and all the green of the valley
is reflected in the crook
And the people by the field
won't stop dancing
while they hear a bagpipe
or there's cider in the winery,
while they hear a bagpipe
or there's cider in the winery.
They go by the road
crossing Cuna y Cenera 1
the pilgrim sings the sorrow
and the old woman her advice
By San Cosme and San Damian 2
be careful early girl
don't pass to the cornfield
don't water it with your tears
There's a steep slope
to reach to the hermitage
and the bells ring
the pilgrims go to mass
and the shepherd with his herd
with his leather bag and his cows
wants to be light or bells
and waking up his lover.
