Tres gotas de agua bendita [English translation]

In the countryside, sitting

Is my grandmother, Luciana

Who, even though she is old and tired,

Gets up early in the morning

Right on time with the crowing of a rooster

And at the sound of my guitar

She dresses in white

For the work to come in the day

And before hitting the road

To her neighbors' houses

She gives a glass of water

To the angel of her husband

And so that it isn't missing anything

Throughout the course of the day

She takes out her red handkerchief

And a little bit of holy water

One, two, three

Three drops of holy water

And it'll heal your lumbago (lower back pain)

And it'll clear up your sight

One, two, three

Three drops of holy water

With holy water, my dear

All of your evils go away

One, two, three

Three drops of holy water

And with a little bit of hierbabuena [a plant like spearmint]

Your nightmares will be cured

Three drops of holy water

And your future will become clear for you

You'll never be lacking work

And you'll go until the end of the world

With the passing of years

My grandma didn't understand

That the world keeps on moving forward

That medicine exists

That computers exist

That geography exists

That not everything is solved

By bathing it in holy water

One, two, three

Three drops of holy water

For your headache

You won't feel like you need any aspirin

One, two, three

Three drops of holy water

And a little bit of hierba buena

Will take away your nightmares

One, two, three

Three drops of holy water

So that you'll be cured of your spasm

And you'll never feel envious

One, two, three

Three drops of holy water

So that the boy from next door

Will tell you hello

Three drops of holy water

And your future will become clear for you

You'll never be lacking work

And you'll go until the end of the world

With three drops of, of holy water

For the pain (ache), for the pain (ache), for your

Headache

Of holy water

Oh, my grandmother's not alive

If she doesn't have the flavor

Of holy water

With your handkerchief in your hand

Of holy water

So that nothing, so that nothing

So that you're not lacking anything

From holy water

Oh, my grandma, if she sees the internet

She'll believe it to be from holy water

Holy water, holy water, how delicious

From holy water

Holy water for you

Holy water for me

And for my grandma

From holy water

That's my grandma

I love her madly

And you too, Celia

Three drops of holy water
