Thanks, Is! I always wondered what the word "chueñe" (llueñe) meant and I believe I just found out. Could it be a variant of "lloñe", far?

I believe it's in the song "Nun puedo subir al puertu" (que está chueñe la cabaña).
Does anybody know the song?

Gracias, Is. Nunca supe que quería decir la palabra "chueñe" y creo que acabo de enterarme. ¿Podría ser una variante de "lloñe"?

Creo que la oí en la canción "Nun puedo subir al puertu" (que está chueñe la cabaña).
¿Alguien la conoce?
