This one beats me. I'm usually good at translating "palabras rebuscadas."

Even "rola" is kind of strange, having meanings from "song" to "lout" to "police station" to "dope."

Could "nio" be a corruption of "nido?" ¿Cuál de estos tiene más sentido, hmmmmm?

It could be a jibaro slurring of "nido" but that still doen't make sense to me in context of the poem. - donrono, Nov 30, 2016
I don't know the context of the poem, but with what she said, with nido, it's a shame that that lout has a nest in Guayama seems to make sense to me. - bosquederoble, Dec 1, 2016
