A esta mulita torda le gusta el grano. Anda mulita, no comas más, que viene el amo. Que viene el amo, que viene el amo, a esta mulita torda le gusta el grano.

Por cortar una rama, del olivo caí. Al olivo, al olivo, al olivo subí. Por cortar una rama, del olivo caí. Del olivo caí. ¿Quién me recogerá? Una linda morena, que la mano me da.

Los molinos de la Mancha muelen deprisa y con sal, y tú, morena y salada, mi corazón molerás.

A la buena cosecha vino manchego, que es la riqueza de nuestro pueblo.

Viva la jota del pueblo, que es la que yo venero, que me la enseñó mi madre, que es hija de nuestra Tierra, que es hija de nuestra Tierra, viva la jota del pueblo.

This little mule likes grain. Come on, mule, don’t eat anymore, the master’s coming. The master’s coming, the master’s coming, this mule likes the grain.

For cutting a branch, I fell from the olive tree. To the olive tree, to the olive tree, to the olive tree I went up. For cutting a branch, I fell from the olive tree. From the olive tree I fell. Who will pick me up? A pretty brunette, who gives me her hand.

The mills of La Mancha grind quickly and with salt, and you, brunette and salty, my heart will grind.

To the good harvest comes La Mancha wine, which is the wealth of our people.

Long live the jack of the people, which is the one I venerate, which my mother taught me, which is the daughter of our land, which is the daughter of our land, long live the jack of the people.
