Con mi payanca de amor,
siempre mimao por la mujer,
pude enlazar su corazón...
¡Su corazón!
Mil bocas como una flor
de juventud, supe besar,
hasta saciar mi sed de amor...
¡Mi sed de amor!

Ninguna pudo escuchar
los trinos de mi canción,
sin ofrecerse a brindar
sus besos por mi pasión...
¡Ay, quién pudiera volver
a ser mocito y cantar,
y en brazos de la mujer
la vida feliz pasar!

Payanca, payanquita
de mis amores,
mi vida la llenaste
de resplandores...
¡Payanca, payanquita
ya te he perdido
y sólo tu recuerdo
fiel me ha seguido!

Con mi payanca logré
a la mujer que me gustó,
y del rival siempre triunfé.
¡Siempre triunfé!
El fuego del corazón
en mi cantar supe poner,
por eso fui rey del amor...
¡Rey del amor!

English translation

With my love payanca,
always pampered by the woman,
I was able to bind her heart...
Her heart!
A thousand mouths like a flower
of youth, I knew how to kiss,
until I quenched my thirst for love...
My thirst for love!

None could hear
the trills of my song,
without offering to offer
their kisses for my passion...
Oh, who could go back
to be a little boy and sing,
and in the arms of a woman
and spend a happy life in the arms of a woman!

Payanca, payanquita
of my loves,
you filled my life
with brightness...
Payanca, payanquita
I have already lost you
and only your memory
has followed me!

With my payanca I got
the woman I liked,
and from the rival I always triumphed.
I always triumphed!
The fire of the heart
I knew how to put in my singing,
that's why I was king of love...
King of love!
