Translation of the song lyrics La Beata - Victor Jara

La Beata (original)

Estaba la beata un día
Enferma del mar de amor
El que tenía la culpa
Era el fraile confesor
Chiribiribiribiri
Chiribiribiribón
A la beata le gustaba
Con el fraile la cuestión
No quería que le pusieran
Zapato ni zapatón
Sino las sandalias viejas
Del fraile confesor
No quería que le pusieran
Mortaja ni mortajón
Sino la sotana vieja
Del fraile confesor
No quería que la velaran
Con vela ni con velón
Sino con la vela corta
Del fraile confesor

La Beata (translation)

The blessed was there one day
Sick of the sea of ​​love
the one to blame
He was the friar confessor
Chiribiribiribiri
Chiribiribon
the blessed liked
With the friar the question
He didn't want to be put
shoe or shoe
but the old sandals
of the friar confessor
He didn't want to be put
Shroud or shroud
but the old cassock
of the friar confessor
He didn't want to be watched
With candle or candle
But with the short candle
of the friar confessor
