There's a workshop

It's full of noises

Things are cut

Things are bound

Things are built

They're built in secret

The bridal chest

The wedding gown

​

So bring the maiden

From the cloister

Bring her free

Or bring her bound

She will stand

With her ancestors

The bridal chest

The wedding gown

​

Pay the dowry

In dolls and dishes

That’s the dough

This day of crowns

That’s the dough

It's el dinero

The bridal chest

The wedding gown

​

Bring the captain

From the lee shore

Leave his ship

To run aground

Leave his crew

To hungry fishes

The bridal chest

The wedding gown

​

Pay the dowry

In dolls and dishes

That’s the dough

This day of crowns

That’s the dough

It's el dinero

The bridal chest

The wedding gown

​

There's a workshop

Full of noises

Things are cut

And then unwound

Things are built

They're built in secret

The bridal chest

The wedding gown

​

The bridal chest

The wedding gown
