La Cumbia del Mole (Short English Version)

They say in Oaxaca you drink coffee with mezcal
They say in Oaxaca you drink coffee with mezcal
Herb and smoke is plenty to chase away evil eye
Herb and smoke is plenty to chase away evil eye

I like to try the mole that Soledad is goin' to grind
I like to try the mole that Soledad is goin' to grind

Oh my darlin' Soledad
She's gonna cook a molito
By the skies of my Monte Albán
At night I'm dreaming to see you
Mi querida Soledad
Me va a guisar un molito
By the skies of my Monte Albán
At night I'm dreaming to see you

You first need to get the peanuts
You get the salt and the bread
You grind and you fry the chilies
You boil the chocolate

Get cinnamon and banana
Get cloves and oregano
Get thyme and the blackest pepper
You grind it in Mexico, oh yeah

You grind it
You grind it
You grind it
You grind it (you grind it, you grind it, you grind it)
You grind it
You grind it
You grind it
You grind it (you grind it, you grind it, you grind it)

You first need to get the peanuts (you grind it)
You get the salt and the bread (you grind it)
You grind and you fry the chilies (you grind it)
You boil the chocolate (you grind it)

Get cinnamon and banana (you grind it)
Get cloves and oregano (you grind it)
Get thyme and the blackest pepper (you grind it)
You grind the chocolate (you grind it)
You grind, you grind, you grind, you grind

They say in Oaxaca hot water with chocolate
They say in Oaxaca hot water with chocolate
They say at the fiesta the burning of lights will tell
They say at the fiesta the burning of lights will tell
What is your kind of promise for Soledad, what kind of spell?
What is your kind of promise for Soledad, what kind of spell?

Mi querida Soledad
Me va a guisar un molito
By the skies of my Monte Albán
At night I'm dreaming to see you
Oh my darlin' Soledad
She's gonna cook a molito
By the skies of my Monte Albán
At night I'm dreaming to see you

Oh my darlin' Soledad
She's gonna cook a molito
By the skies of my Monte Albán
At night I'm dreaming to see you
Oh my darlin' Soledad
She's gonna cook a molito
By the skies of my Monte Albán
At night I'm dreaming to see you
