[English]

With only clay he formed them

In his perfect creation

With his two hands he molded

He gave them the correct form

And so it was that the creation

Reached its culmination

He has created a man

And a woman as a companion

Oh, oh, a woman

With only clay he formed them

Oh, the great master

He molded his work with perfection

He turned his love into ours

At night I will give thanks

And by day I will do it too

It was great that with

Only clay he formed them, oh, oh

To that clay he gave life, soul, love

He built them an entire world

There is no fear of what will happen

I know that he will come for me

And so it was that the creation

Reached its culmination

He has created a man

And a woman as a companion

Oh, oh a woman

Let me tell you, tell you

What happened, he has created

He has created a woman, oh, oh

...

[Spanish]

Con solo barro los formó

En su creación perfecta

Con sus dos manos modeló

Le dio la forma correcta

Y así fue que la creación

Llegó a su culminación

Ha creado a un hombre

Y de compañera a una mujer

Oh, oh, una mujer

Con solo barro los formó

Oh, el gran maestro

De perfección su obra plasmó

Volvió su amor en nuestro

De noche agradeceré

Y de día también lo haré

Fue grandioso que con

Solo barro los formó, oh, oh

Aquel barro la vida, el alma, el amor le dio

Un mundo entero les construyó

No hay temor que pasará

Sé que él por mí vendrá

Y así fue que la creación

Llegó a su culminación

Ha creado a un hombre

Y de compañera una mujer

Oh, oh una mujer

Déjenme decirles, decirles

Qué pasó, ha creado

Ha creado a una mujer, oh, oh
