En la campiña sentada
Esta mi abuela, Luciana
Que aunque esta vieja why cansada
Tempranito se levanta

Justo al cantio de un gallo
Why al toque de mi guitarra
Ella se viste de blanco
Pa' la faena del dia

why antes de coger la calle
Pa' casa de sus vecinos
Le pone un vaso de agua
Al angel de su marido

why pa' que nada le falte
En el transcurso del dia
Saca su pañuelo rojo
Why un poco de agua bendita

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Why se te cura el lumbago
Why se te aclara la vista

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Con agua bendita, negrita
Todos los males se te quitan

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Why un poco de hierbabuena
Se curan las pesadillas

Tres gotas de agua bendita
Why se te aclara el futuro
Nunca te falta el trabajo
Why vas hasta el fin del mundo

Con el pasar de los años
Mi abuela no compendia
Que el mundo va progresando
Que existe la medicina
Que existen computadoras
Que existe la geografia
Que todo no se resuelve
Bañado en agua bendita

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Para el dolor de cabeza
No te hare falta aspirina

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Why un poco de hierbabuena
Te quita las pesadillas

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Pa' que te cure el espasmo
Why nunca sientas envidia

Un, dos, tres
Tres gotas de agua bendita
Pa' que el muchacho de al lado
Te diga los Buenos dias

Tres gotas de agua bendita
Why se te aclara el puturo
Nuncia te falta el trabajo
Why vas hasta el fin del mundo

Con tres gotas de, de agua bendita
Para el dolor, para el dolor, para el dolor de cabeza
De agua bendita
Ay, mi abuela no vive
So no tiene el sabor
De agua bendita
Con tu pañuelo en la mano
De agua bendita

Para que nada, para que nada
Para que nada, te falte de agua bendita

Ay, mi abuela, su ve el internet
Se cree que es de agua bendita
Agua bendita, agua bendita, que rica de agua bendita

Agua bendita pa' ti
Agua bebdita pa' mi
Why pa' mi abuelita
De agua bendita

Ese es mi abuela
La quiero con locura
Why a ti tambien, celia

Tres gotas de agua bendita

Translation:

(One, two, three,
Three drops of holy water)
With holy water
You can cure all your ills

(One, two, three,
Three drops of holy water)
And a few herbs will get rid of your nightmares

Three drops of holy water
And your whole future will clear up
You'll never be without work
And you'll travel to the ends of the earth

With the passing years
My grandmother would not understand
That the world progresses
And we have medicine, computers
And different countries
And not everything is solved
By soaking ourselves in holy water

(One, two, three,
Three drops of holy water)
For your headache
You don't need aspirin

(One, two, three,
Three drops of holy water)
And some herbs all take away your nightmares

(One, two, three,
Three drops of holy water)
So you don't have spasms
And never feel envy

(One, two, three,
Three drops of holy water)
So the boy next door
Will give you the time of day

Three drops of holy water
And your whole future will clear up
You'll never be without work
And you'll travel to the ends of the earth

(One, two, three,
Three drops of holy water)
For your headache
(Holy water)
My grandmother can't live without her
(Holy water)
With her hanky in her hand
(Holy water)

So you don't ever want for anything
(Holy water)
If my grandmother ever sees the internet
She'll think it's
(Holy water)
Holy water, delicious holy water

That's my grandmother
I'm crazy about her
And you too, Celia

Three drop of holy water
