Things get answered eventually: (requested Feb 2012)

THE TORTILLA VENDOR
Singing Together Spring 1981 (no names given) Source given as Chile.

In the evening as I wander
Through the town by lantern light,
When I'm passing by your window,
Then I sing a last goodnight.

Chorus:
Ah! I am sighing, While my wares I'm crying:
Who'll buy from me tostaitas? Buy my tortillas?


Oh, dear lady, why so cruel?
Why no answer to my song?
When I'm passing by your window,
And the day has seemed so long.

Cho:

In the evening I am going
By my lantern's glimm'ring light,
I must leave you without knowing
If you think of me tonight.

Cho:
