Molle, molle
Beautiful/pleasing tree of sweet fruit
Molle, molle
Beautiful/pleasing tree of sweet fruit

Having only eaten a bit of your fruit,
My dear young beloved is jealous of me
Having only eaten a bit of your fruit,
My dear young beloved is breaking up with me

Cold, wind
Don't be so cold here
Cold, wind
Don't be so windy here

Even when you just bat/tug my little poncho
My dear young beloved is jealous of me
Even when you just bat/tug my little poncho
My dear young beloved is breaking up with me

Coda

So you think your mother is your mother?
So you think your father is your father?
I am the one who is your mother.
I am the one who is your father.
Dear cuzqueña (woman from Cuzco), the only pea (woman)
Dear cuzqueña (woman from Cuzco), the only pea (woman)
So, you think that I was meant for you?
And that you were meant for me?
