I am the chullita Quito, La Loma Grande and La Garagua

I spend happy life,
For me, everything is a dream
Under this sky loved.
The beautiful little girls Quito
They own my heart,
There are no women in the world
Because of my song.
They are all so dear neighborhoods

The "Bun", the Plaza Grande
They put the unmistakable
of his majesty.
Chulla Quito: You are the owner
From this precious national heritage;
Chulla Quito: your constituyes
Also, the jewel of the colonial Quito.

People from the neighborhood who always looked down at night on a
horse a man dressed all in black. With a layer covering the entire body, so
no one saw him head. But the boys were very intrigued sector and
decided to set a trap. Then one night, when the mysterious man spent
with your horse, we extended a rope on the ground and the horse
stumbled and had to drop the "headless priest." They say it was actually a
priest who escaped partying and he wore the coat from head to recognize
anyone, but everyone thought it was the headless priest.
