I like to try the mole that Soledad is goin' to grind
I like to try the mole that Soledad is goin' to grind

O my darlin' Soledad, she's gonna cook a molito
By the skies of my Monte Alban, at night I'm dreaming to see you

Mi querida Soledad me va a guisar un molito
By the skies of my Monte Alban, at night I'm dreaming to see you

You first need to get the peanuts, you get the salt and the bread
You grind and you fry the chilies, you try the chocolate

Get cinnamon and banana, get cloves and oregano
Get thyme and the blackest pepper
You grind it in México, óye, grind it

Grind it

You first need to get the peanuts, you get the salt and the bread
You grind and you fry the chilies, you try the chocolate
Get cinnamon and banana, get cloves and oregano
Get thyme and the blackest pepper
You grind the chocolate, you grind you grind you grind

They say in Oaxaca hot water with chocolate

What is your kind of promise for Soledad what kind of spell

Mi querida Soledad me va a guisar un molito
By the skies of my Monte Alban, at night I'm dreaming to see you
O my darlin' Soledad, she's gonna cook a molito
By the skies of my Monte Alban, at night I'm dreaming to see you
O my darlin' Soledad, she's gonna cook a molito
By the skies of my Monte Alban, at night I'm dreaming to see you
O my darlin' Soledad, she's gonna cook a molito
By the skies of my Monte Alban, at night I'm dreaming to see you
