Don't ask San Judas to take care of you on the road

Better ask San Judas to teach you how to drive

To take you away from the neighbor who does not let you touch

To send him flying, to throw him out where he came from

Do not ask Saint Charbel to take care of you of illness

Better ask a friend to take you to vaccinate

With the doc to a social security hospital

And if you don't have money from the popular insurance

Do not ask San Martín to take care of your business

Better ask your partner to get to work

To keep you from leisure and thus teach you to save

So you learn to save and don't walk in the mountain of mercy

Do not ask San Andrés to free you from all evil

Better ask the architect not to build in a place

That it is not next to a ravine or a river about to overflow

Huge gas tanks or electricity pylons

Holy child of Atocha, up the Molocha!

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

Let the mochos die, the biscuits become naked

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

Let the mochos die, long live the teporochos

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

Let the mochos die, the biscuits become naked

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

let the mops die

Do not ask the virgin to bless you with more children

Ask the apothecary to sell you contraceptives

Well, the children that I send you will not be responsible

And they are only starving and there is no Saint anymore who saves them

Ask the lord to explain his doctrine

That they have us in their sights if one day we touch motorcycles

Well, many of his devotees rape, steal, murder

And they think they bounce because they go and cross themselves

Ask the men to listen to our proposal

To see if at those of the perpetual candle

Twenty-five more years playing thanks to them

With God I am at peace, not with their old and ugly

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

Let the mochos die, the biscuits become naked

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

Let the mochos die, long live the teporochos

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

Let the mochos die, the biscuits become naked

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

let the mops die

Don't ask San Antonio to bring you a new husband

Better jump to have fun than to dress the hateful child

Ask Santa Clara for eggnog for the pachanga

Forget and celebrate and don't be kicking the manger

Ask Saint Titus to teach you to play the lyre

Ask San Gringo Loco to show you the drums

Ask San Paco to teach you how to play the bass

Ask Santo Chicho chamba on drums

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

Let the mochos die, the biscuits become naked

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

Let the mochos die, long live the teporochos

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

Let the mochos die, the biscuits become naked

Down with the mochos, up with the molochos

let the mops die
