Lyrics
Translated from the original Spanish:
Mountain girls of Cuenca
were going to the pine grove,
some for pine nuts,
others to dance.
The fair highland girls
dance, dividing
one nut with another,
if not with pearls
merrily deflecting
the arrows of Cupid,
some for pine nuts,
others to dance.
Between the branches,
when the blind god
begs the sun for eyes
to see them better,
you will see them treading
on the eyes of the sun,
some for pine nuts,
others to dance.
