su sabiduría no tiene precio,	and her wisdom is priceless,

Mujer, mujer del barro del cual fuiste tu creada	Woman, woman, from the mud you were made of
bebí mi inspiración para exaltarte a ti esta canción	I got the inspiration to honor you with this song
mujer, mujer, en la escuela en que tu fuiste enseñada	Woman, woman, in the school that we were taught,
jamas saqué un diez, soy fuerte pero no llego a tus pies.	I never failed! -I am strong! -But I can’t ever be compared with you.
