On the night I went to your house,
I hit the lock three times.
You don't serve for lovers,
you have a heavy sleep.
Oh,
Sandunga,
Sandunga, mama,
for God's sake, Sandunga, don't be ungrateful,
mother of my heart.
On the banks of the Papaloapan,
I was bathing yesterday.
You passed by the banks and you didn't want to see me.
Oh,
Sandunga,
Sandunga, mama,
for God's sake, Sandunga, don't be ungrateful,
mother of my heart.
Two
little turtles were rolling in their nest.
No matter how many signs I gave them,
they became misunderstood.
Oh,
Sandunga, Sandunga, mama,
for God's sake, Sandunga, don't be ungrateful,
mother of my heart.
Oh,
Sandunga,
Sandunga, mama,
for God's sake, Sandunga, don't be ungrateful,
mother of my heart.
