La Vaca Estudiosa

(original)
Había una vez una vaca
En la quebrada de Humahuaca
Como era muy vieja, muy vieja
Estaba sorda de una oreja
Y a pesar de que ya era abuela
Un día quiso ir a la escuela
Se puso unos zapatos rojos
Guantes de tul y un par de anteojos
La vio la maestra asustada
Y dijo: «Estás equivocada»
Y la vaca le respondió:
«¿Por qué no puedo estudiar yo?»
La vaca vestida de blanco
Se acomodó en el primer banco
Los chicos tirábamos tiza
Y nos moríamos de risa
La gente se fue muy curiosa
A ver a la vaca estudiosa
La gente llegaba en camiones
En bicicletas y en aviones
Y como el bochinche aumentaba
En la escuela nadie estudiaba
La vaca de pie en un rincón
Rumiaba sola la lección
Un día toditos los chicos
Nos convertimos en borricos
Y en ese lugar de Humahuaca
La única sabia fue la vaca
Y en ese lugar de Humahuaca
La única sabia fue la vaca…
(translation)
once upon a time there was a cow
In the Humahuaca ravine
As she was very old, very old
she was deaf in one ear
And even though she was already a grandmother
One day she wanted to go to school
She put on some red shoes
Tulle Gloves and a Pair of Glasses
She saw the scared teacher
And she said, "You're wrong"
And the cow answered him:
"Why can't I study?"
The cow dressed in white
She settled in the first pew
The boys used to throw chalk
And we were dying of laughter
People left very curious
To see the studious cow
People came in trucks
On bikes and on planes
And as the hubbub increased
At school no one studied
The cow standing in a corner
She ruminated the lesson alone
One day all the boys
we become donkeys
And in that place of Humahuaca
The only wise one was the cow
And in that place of Humahuaca
The only wise one was the cow...
