Translation of the song lyrics Dona Maria Le Ruego - Victor Jara

Dona Maria Le Ruego (original)

Doña María le ruego
En nombre de la fortuna
Me deje ver su niño
Que me van a dar la una
Doña María yo vine
A ver el niñito'e Dios
Ustedes me dan licencia
Que me van a dar las dos
Pregúntele Mariquita
A su esposo Don José
Deje mirar al niñito
Que me van a dar la tres
Tome en cuenta Mariquita
Casi gasté los zapatos
Por ver a su Manuelito
Ya me va a dar las cuatro
De Ñuble vine señora
De los campos de Niblinto
Por saludar a su niño
Antes que me den las cinco
Señora Doña María
Rayito de clara luz
Que viva por muchos años
Con su niñito Jesús

(translation)

Dona Maria I beg you
In the name of fortune
let me see your boy
that they are going to give me one
Dona Maria I came
Let's see the little boy of God
you give me license
What are you going to give me both?
ask her ladybug
To her husband of her Don José
Let the little boy look
that they are going to give me the three
Take into account Ladybug
I almost wore out the shoes
To see his Manuelito
She is going to give me the four
I came from Ñuble, madam
From the fields of Niblinth
For greeting your child
Before they give me five
Lady Dona Maria
ray of clear light
may he live for many years
With her baby Jesus
