Translation of the song lyrics Jai Jai - Victor Jara

Jai Jai (original)

Alojita de algarroba
Molidita en el mortero
Se me sube a la cabeza
Como si fuera sombrero
Ya tarde vidita mía
Ya tar' vidita la luna
Carnaval viene al galope
Y la chichita madura
Yo te quisiera vidita
Pero tu dueño está viendo
Échale un puñao' e' sueño
Que se divierta durmiendo
Anoche tuíta la noche
Casi me mato de risa
Me soñé que me ponía
Calzón, enagua y camisa
Yo no sé que mañas tengo
Que a mí mismo me dan pena
Me echo a dormir en mi cama
Y amanezco en cama ajena
Ahora si que estoy de luto
Corbatita colorada
Porque se ha muerto mi suegra
Esa vieja condenada

Jai Jai (translation)

Alojata of carob
Ground in the mortar
It goes to my head
as if it were a hat
It's too late, my darling
I already tar' vidita the moon
Carnival comes galloping
And the mature chichita
I would like to see you
But your owner is watching
Give him a fist 'e' dream
have fun sleeping
last night tuíta the night
I almost died of laughter
I dreamed that I was wearing
Underpants, petticoat and shirt
I don't know what mornings I have
That I feel sorry for myself
I go to sleep in my bed
And I wake up in someone else's bed
Now I am in mourning
red tie
Because my mother-in-law has died
that old damn
