Maria, today I want to drink
Maria, today come to see me
Through me the lime and lemon
Through me the key to see my heart
Oh Virgin of Alta Gracia, you are the one who knows
You are responsible for our lives
How it was, and how it will be
It's because of the arrival of Virgin Maria
Wave, wave, waves of the sea
What a wonderful wave to sail
Oh mother Maria, come to see
Oh mother Maria, I want to see
Let's go to the church, it's marvellous
I fall to my knees
When women stumble
They always say men are responsible
Hello, hello, hello, the cowboys say
There are a lot of pretty girls who don't pay
Oh mother Maria, come to see
Oh mother Maria, I want to see
Next year I am going to Higüey
If life permits I will grant that
On the 21st of January I will go to Higüey
