lyrics:
Palo, palo, palo, palo bonito, palo e
e e e, palo bonito, palo e
Virgen de Altagracia compañera mía
tu para tu casa y yo para la mía
Dos y dos son cuatro, cuatro y dos son seis
seis y dos son ocho y ocho dieciséis
Los niños del mundo quieren pan y canto
que acabe la guerra, que termine el llanto
Enero, febrero, marzo, abril y mayo
son los cinco meses primeros del año
lyrics (translation):
Virgin of Altagracia, my dear companion
You go to your house and I'll go to mine
Two and two are four, four and two are six
Six and two are eight, and eight are sixteen
Children of the world ask for bread and song,
The end of wars, the end of sorrows
January, February, March, April and May
Are the first five months of the year
