Lyrics of Parabienes de Novios - Violeta Parra

Parabienes de Novios (original)

Viva la luz de don Creador
Vivan novios y pairinos
Y los ángeles divinos
Que tiene Dios a su lao'
El matrimonio sagrao'
Como la regla lo exige
Y los dos que se dirigen
A darnos tan raro ejemplo
En su magnífico templo
Viva Dios, viva la virgen
Vivan hermanos, parientes
Con placer y regocijo
El cura que los bendijo
Y los que se hallan presentes
En términos evidentes
Gocen de paz en aumento
En tan singular contento
El auditorio entendio'
Y los dos que han recibío'
El sétimo sacramento
Vivan novios y pairinos
Oro molido en quilates
De quilates paso a perlas
Y de perlas a diamantes
De diamantes a corales
De los corales más finos
De lo blanco del platino
Oro molido en azogue
Mi julano y mi julana
Se hallan deshojando flores

(translation)

Long live the light of the Creator gift
Long live boyfriends and couples
and the divine angels
What does God have on his side?
The sacred marriage
As the rule requires
And the two that are headed
To give us such a rare example
In his magnificent temple
Long live God, long live the virgin
Long live brothers, relatives
With pleasure and joy
The priest who blessed them
And those who are present
in obvious terms
Enjoy increased peace
In so singular happy
The audience understood
And the two who have received
the seventh sacrament
Long live boyfriends and couples
karat milled gold
From carats to pearls
And from pearls to diamonds
From diamonds to corals
Of the finest corals
Of the white of the platinum
Gold ground into quicksilver
My julano and my julana
They are plucking flowers
