Lyrics and translation Chayito Valdez - Ayer Bajé De La Sierra




Ayer Bajé De La Sierra
Yesterday I Came Down from the Mountains
Ayer bajé de la sierra,
Yesterday I came down from the mountains,
Ya me estaban esperando,
They were already waiting for me,
Eran cien hombres de verde,
A hundred men in green,
Tenían el paso bloqueado,
They had the path blocked,
Pero se llevaron plancha,
But they got flattened,
Porque yo venía volando.
Because I came flying.
El barrio de tierra blanca,
The neighborhood of White Earth,
Muy cerquita del infierno,
Close to hell,
Bajé a ver a mi ojo verde,
I came down to see my green-eyed girl,
Que conminé hasta el gobierno,
Who I even reported to the government,
Por dos pendientes tan grandes,
For two slopes so steep,
Que hay noches que yo no duermo.
That some nights I can't sleep.
No se apunten zopilotes,
Don't aim at me, vultures,
Que todavía no me muerto,
I'm not dead yet,
Es que me puse perfume,
It's just that I put on perfume,
Ustedes piensan que apesto,
You think I stink,
deberás me traen ganas.
In fact, you make me want it.
Nomás arriesguen el resto.
Just risk the rest.
(Puente musical)
(Musical bridge)
Me gusta pescar charales,
I like to fish for minnows,
Para hecharlos de carnada,
To use as bait,
En la Ciudad de Nogales,
In the City of Nogales,
Me tiraron por la espalda,
They shot me in the back,
me quieren rematar,
If you want to finish me off,
Los espero en Ensenada.
I'll wait for you in Ensenada.
No es que me gusten las broncas,
It's not that I like fights,
Pero aprecio la emoción,
But I appreciate the thrill,
Que me toquen con la banda,
May the band play for me,
Esa pieza del Barzón,
That piece by Barzón,
Luego me voy pa'las quintas,
Then I'll go to the farm,
Me lo pide el corazón.
My heart asks me to.
Bonitas las olas altas,
The big waves are beautiful,
Y de eso no hay que dudar,
And there's no doubt about it,
quieren gozar la vida,
If you want to enjoy life,
Acerquence a Mazatlán,
Come to Mazatlán,
Cuando bajen de la sierra,
When you come down from the mountains,
No lo vayan a olvidar
Don't forget it.
