can the white cadejo always defend at late hours of the night, or
just hit him and crush him, in both beliefs the cadejo never
bites (except in its struggle with the white cadejo) and causes harm
hitting and crushing, due to its large size it leaves the man who
attacks as if he had been beaten up.

Proverbs

To do well, to pay well.

Do not entrust money to a drunkard or a womanizer.

A good friend is a good coat.

You're going to a good forest for firewood!

To a good listener, few words are needed.

God helps those who wake up early

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Every pig has its Saturday.

A house with honorable guests should have no closed doors.

Riddles

For thousands of years Ruminant mammal

with an elongated neck,
we have transported the man; through the desert, wandering,
he always walks hunched over
now it takes us hidden

in the engine of their cars

If we leave it, it will pass;

if we sell it, it will be weighed;
if wine is made, it is pressed;
if we leave it, it will settle

It is not a bed
You are a lion
and disappears
in any corner.

Tall as a pine,
green as linen,
with the wide leaves
and the yellow fruit

Who up there
in the blackberry branches

and there it hides. greedy,

everything that steals?
Figs are given in August,
after another fruit will provide

White was my birth,

colored my childhood,
 and now that I'm getting old,
I am blacker than pitch.

En el campo me crié,
tied with green ribbons,
and he who cries for me is
breaking into pieces.

Tall and very thin

with flowing hair that the wind sways
on the beach while playing with the sand.
Tongue twister
Lullabies

THE CHICKENS

The chicks say peep peep peep

when they are hungry
when it's cold.

The mom is looking for them.

corn and wheat

takes care of her chicks
and provides them shelter.

Under its two wings

snuggled
until the other day
the chicks are sleeping.

Mrs. Santana

Mrs. Santana
Why is the child crying?
For an apple
what has been lost
I will give you one,
I will give him two
one for the child
and another for you.
I don't want one.
I don't want two
I want the apple
what I lost.

Sleep, my child
 Hush my child, this pretty girl
My love, I made a mistake. that was born at night
baby food wants to be taken
from my heart to go for a drive.

This cute girl Sleep my child

who was born during the day Sleep my love
wants to be taken Go to sleep, piece.
to the candy store from my heart.
SLEEP, LITTLE BLACK ONE

Sleep sleep little black one

Your mom is in the field, little black boy.
sleep sleep little black boy
that your mommy is in the field, little black one
Teva will bring delicious fruits for you
he is going to bring you some soaps
he is going to bring you pork
it's going to bring you many things for you
And if the black one doesn't sleep
the white devil comes and bam!
he eats the patica and chicapum and chicapum
the ray and the chicapum!
Sleep, sleep, little black boy
that your mom is in the field, little black one
working yes,
working hard
working yes
working and goes barefoot
working yes
working and not sleeping
working yes
for the little black boy
for the little black one, yes.
 Little bird that sings
Little bird that sings in the lagoon
no you wake up the child
what is in the crib.

Oh the baby, oh the baby

sleep little morning star

Little goldfinch that sings among the flowers

no you awaken the child of my loves.
