La Sandunga

¡Ay! Sandunga, Sandunga mamá por Dios

Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón

¡Ay! Sandunga, Sandunga mamá por Dios

Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón

Antenoche fui a tu casa

Tres golpes le di al candado

Tú no sirves para amores

Tienes el sueño pesado

¡Ay! Sandunga, Sandunga mamá por Dios

Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón

Me ofreciste acompañarme

Desde la iglesia a mi choza

Pero como no llegabas

Tuve que venirme sola

¡Ay! Sandunga, Sandunga mamá por Dios

Sandunga no seas ingrata, mamá de mi corazón

A orillas del Papaloapan

Me estaba bañando ayer

Pasaste por las orillas

Y no me quisiste ver

¡Ay! Sandunga, Sandunga mamá por Dios

Sandunga

Oh! Sandunga1, Sandunga by God woman!

Don't be so ungrateful Sandunga, woman of my heart.

Oh! Sandunga, Sandunga by God woman!

Don't be so ungrateful Sandunga, woman of my heart.

Last night I went to your house,

I knocked three times by the door knocker,

You're no good when it comes to love,

You're deep in sleep.2

Oh! Sandunga, Sandunga by God woman!

Don't be so ungrateful Sandunga, woman of my heart.

You offered to accompany me

From church to my house,3

But you never came,

And I had to come back alone.

Oh! Sandunga, Sandunga by God, woman!

Don't be so ungrateful Sandunga, woman of my heart.

At the edge of the Papaloapan4

I was bathing yesterday,

You passed by the edge (of the river),

And you didn't want to see me.

Oh! Sandunga, Sandunga by God, woman!

'Sandunga' might come from the zapotec words 'Saa' (music) and 'ndú' (deep/profound), meaning 'Profound/deep music', but can means "gracefulness, elegance, charm, wit, and celebration.". Legend has it that the composer of the song (Máximo Ramón Ortiz), at the sight of his deceased mother, he exclaimed the first verses that we have today as he lamented her death. So to me at least, 'Sandunga' is an exclamation of a 'profound song/music' from deep within the soul to explain something. The song is also known as 'La Zandunga'.
