Lyrics and translation Banda Cuisillos - El Toro Barcino

El Toro Barcino

Vendí mi toro barcino y la vaca colorada
Me los compro un Cirilo
Dinero necesitaba
Quería enfrentar mi destino
La suerte ya estaba echada

Me fui en camión hacia el norte
Con rumbo pa' la frontera
No llevaba pasaporte
Pero traía la cartera
Me puse a buscar coyote para que me condujera

Cuando esta va en San José
Llegue con unos amigos
Me concedieron permiso para que ahí me quedara
Pero traía un compromiso
Tenia que ver a mi amada

Y me fui a buscarla, compa
Por que era lo que tenia que hacer
Hecho con ella

Ya vine, ya estoy aquí
Como te había prometido
Me fue difícil cumplir
Pero se me ha concedido
No mas te vengo a decir
Que si te casas conmigo

Me dijo
Ya estoy casada
Perdón si te traicione
Pero volver para el rancho no me parece muy bien
Y es imposible seguirte
Ya tengo un hijo con el

Vendí mi toro barcino y la vaca colorada
Fue peor castigo en el mundo
Que haber perdido a mi amada
Por conseguir su cariño
Ya me quedado sin nada

The Brindle Bull

I sold my brindle bull and a reddish-brown cow,
Cirilo bought them from me.
I needed the money,
I wanted to face my destiny.
The die was cast.

I took a bus heading north.
I was headed to the border,
I didn't have a passport,
But I had my wallet.
I started looking for a coyote to guide me.

When I was in San Jose,
I arrived to stay with some friends.
They granted me permission to stay there,
But I had a commitment.
I had to see my beloved.

And I went to look for her, friend,
Because it was what I had to do.
Done with her,

I have come, I am here,
As I had promised you.
It was difficult for me to fulfill,
But it has been granted to me.
I just came to tell you,
That if you will marry me,

She said to me,
I am already married.
I apologize if I betrayed you,
But it doesn't seem right to me to return to the ranch.
And it is impossible to follow you.
I already have a child with him.

I sold my brindle bull and a reddish-brown cow,
It was a worse punishment in the world,
Than having lost my beloved,
For trying to get her affection.
Now I am left with nothing.
