Es en balde, majo mío, que sigas hablando
porque hay cosas que contesto yo siempre cantando:
Tra la la...
Por más que preguntes tanto:
tra la la...
En mí no causas quebranto
ni yo he de salir de mi canto:

The Tralala and the Picking
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
It is in vain, my boy, that you go on talking,
For there are things to which I ever answer in song.
Tra la la...
No matter how many times you ask:
Tra la la...
You cause me no grief
And I will not cease to sing.
tra la la...
