In the countryside, sitting
Is my grandmother, Luciana
Who, even though she is old and tired,
Gets up early in the morning
Right on time with the crowing of a rooster
And at the sound of my guitar
She dresses in white
For the work to come in the day
And before hitting the road
To her neighbors' houses
She gives a glass of water
To the angel of her husband
And so that it isn't missing anything
Throughout the course of the day
She takes out her red handkerchief
And a little bit of holy water
One, two, three
Three drops of holy water
And it'll heal your lumbago (lower back pain)
And it'll clear up your sight
One, two, three
Three drops of holy water
With holy water, my dear
All of your evils go away
One, two, three
Three drops of holy water
And with a little bit of hierbabuena [a plant like spearmint]
Your nightmares will be cured
Three drops of holy water
And your future will become clear for you
You'll never be lacking work
And you'll go until the end of the world
With the passing of years
My grandma didn't understand
That the world keeps on moving forward
That medicine exists
That computers exist
That geography exists
That not everything is solved
By bathing it in holy water
One, two, three
Three drops of holy water
For your headache
You won't feel like you need any aspirin
One, two, three
Three drops of holy water
And a little bit of hierba buena
Will take away your nightmares
One, two, three
Three drops of holy water
So that you'll be cured of your spasm
And you'll never feel envious
One, two, three
Three drops of holy water
So that the boy from next door
Will tell you hello
Three drops of holy water
And your future will become clear for you
You'll never be lacking work
And you'll go until the end of the world
With three drops of, of holy water
For the pain (ache), for the pain (ache), for your
Headache
Of holy water
Oh, my grandmother's not alive
If she doesn't have the flavor
Of holy water
With your handkerchief in your hand
Of holy water
So that nothing, so that nothing
So that you're not lacking anything
From holy water
Oh, my grandma, if she sees the internet
She'll believe it to be from holy water
Holy water, holy water, how delicious
From holy water
Holy water for you
Holy water for me
And for my grandma
From holy water
That's my grandma
I love her madly
And you too, Celia
Three drops of holy water
