Paroles et traduction Jorge Negrete - La Cancion de los Vaqueros

La Cancion de los Vaqueros

Por la vereda del llano
Va cantando el caporal,
Arrea ganado orejano
Para el campo en el corral.

Hay luz tierna en el potrero
Porque el sol va a reventar,
Y una época que un vaquero
Echa el campo a retozar.

Ay ay ay ay, mírame bien,
No te agarre molona, chiquita
Con tu querer.

Dime que si, no digas no,
Tu sabes que tu dueño, chiquita
No más soy yo.

Chilla el coyote escondido,
Vivo en lo alto, el gavilán,
Y un toro brama perdido
Entre el verde zacatal.

Ni una tajada de queso,
Te vas porque viene el sol,
Y un lucero queda preso
Entre sedas de arrebol.

Ay ay ay ay, mírame bien,
No te agarre molona, chiquita
Con tu querer.
Dime que si, no digas no,
Tu sabes que tu dueño, chiquita
No más soy yo.

The Song of the Cowboys

On the path of the plain
The foreman goes singing,
He drives the long-eared cattle
To the corral in the field.

There is soft light in the pasture
Because the sun is about to burst,
And a time when a cowboy
Brings the field to frolic.

Oh oh oh oh, look at me well,
Don't let me catch you grumpy, little girl
With your love.

Tell me yes, don't say no,
You know that your master, little girl
Is only me.

The coyote howls in hiding,
The hawk lives on high,
And a lost bull roars
Among the green grass.

Not even a slice of cheese,
You leave because the sun is coming,
And a star remains trapped
In the silks of dawn.

Oh oh oh oh, look at me well,
Don't let me catch you grumpy, little girl
With your love.
Tell me yes, don't say no,
You know that your master, little girl
Is only me.
