Lyrics and translation Jorge Negrete - Cancion De Los Vaqueros




Cancion De Los Vaqueros
The Cowboys' Song
Van volando por el cielo
Across the sky they fly
Unas nubes mañanera
Morning clouds up high
Ay larala, ay larala, ay larala
Oh larala, oh larala, oh larala
Parecen palomas blancas
Like white doves they seem
Que van buscando otro suelo
Seeking another realm
Ay larala, ay larala, ay larala
Oh larala, oh larala, oh larala
Veredita de mis campos
Little path across my fields
Caminito de mi amor
Road to my love's embrace
Moreno como sus ojos
Dark as his eyes, so bold
Bonita como la flor
Beautiful as a flower's grace
Toro pinto toro mal
Painted bull, oh so sly
Ya te quedaste sin cuero
Your hide is no longer whole
La novillona que quieres
The young heifer you desire
Ya te anda buscando yerno
Is seeking a groom, I'm told
La morena que yo quiero
The dark-haired girl I adore
Siempre quiere ir adelante
Always likes to lead the way
Ay larala, ay larala, ay larala
Oh larala, oh larala, oh larala
Le gusta que yo la siga
She delights in my pursuit
Por miedo a quedar vacante
Lest I fall behind and lose sight
Ay larala, ay larala, ay larala
Oh larala, oh larala, oh larala
La canción de los vaqueros
The song of the cowboys bold
Siempre trae una intención
Always carries a secret untold
Les gusta ser los primeros
They crave to be first in line
Pa ocupar un corazón.
To win over a heart, so fine.
La vaquilla colorada
The reddish-brown calf today
Trae la panza muy inflada
Bears a belly swollen and round
Que habrá comido la pobre
What could she have eaten, pray
Que anda tan desmejorada
To make her so bloated and unbound?
Anda! Mírala!
Look! Oh, look at her!
Van volando por el cielo
Across the sky they fly
Unas nubes mañanera
Morning clouds up high
Ay larala, ay larala, ay larala
Oh larala, oh larala, oh larala
Parecen palomas blancas
Like white doves they seem
Que van buscando otro suelo
Seeking another realm
Ay larala, ay larala, ay larala
Oh larala, oh larala, oh larala
