Folk-lore from the Dominican republic / by Manuel J. Andrade.

Folk-Lore from the Dominican Republic 381 (b) En el monte Buquila esta el bufa. Tiene cresta como gallo y se para sin tener pies. El pene 208 Venga aca, Musie Saga, que yo preguntarle quiero: i que es aquello que se corta primero came que cuero? La mollejca 209 Ahi viene Maria la O.1 Pongale asunto, mi acero, que primero hay que cortar carne que cuero. La molleja 210 (a) Lo mate y a la vuelta lo encontre vivo. El morivivi (mimosa) (R) (b) Manque ute lo mate, a la gueita lo jaya vivo. Ei moriiviv 211 Un hombre por ser humano, se expuso a perder la vida. Di6 una corta sangria, quedando la herida sana. El mosquito 212 Chiquitico y flaquito, me salio atrd; el al machete y yo a la trompd. El mosquito The capricious name Maria la 0 reminds me of a very popular Cuban song, of the type which they call rumba, with the following words: Aya nel mueye ta la china que m-epera. Se yama Maria la 0. jAy, Dio! Esa china tiene rabia. iPor Dio! The term china means here a light colored mulatto girl, and tiene rabia was or is still a Cuban slang expressing enthusiasm over a person or thing. When applied to a woman, as here, it might be rendered by the American slang, "Some kid!" or "Some baby!".
