El León De La Sierra - Remasterizado 2024

De Monterrey a Linares
Salieron una mañana
Un grupo de federales
En busca de hierba mala
Que se encontraba entre la sierra
También el que la sembraba

Cuando llegaron al punto
Un rancho en la madriguera
Le preguntan a un viejito
¿Dónde se encuentra Barrera?
Que lo venimos buscando
Que nos entregue la hierba

El viejito les contesta
No sé de lo que se trata
Yo soy un ranchero bueno
Y he nacido en la Petaca
Barrera se encuentra arriba
Que ni con perros lo bajan

Se escuchaban los aullidos
De toda fiera salvaje
Y el jefe les dice a todos
Yo mataré al que se raje
He de llevarme a Barrera
No me importa lo que pase

Allá por la madrugada
Cuando el sueño los venció
Quedando todos dormidos
Barrera los atacó
Matando a uno por uno
Y con hierba los tamó

Murieron los federales
En las manos de esa fiera
Allá entre los matorrales
Donde se encuentra Barrera
Y todavía sigue siendo
El mero león de la sierra

The Lion of the Sierra - Remastered 2024

From Monterrey to Linares, my love,
They left one morning, you see,
A group of federales, so brave,
In search of the wicked weed, they crave,
Which was found among the sierra's steep,
And the one who sowed it, secrets to keep.

When they arrived at the spot, my dear,
A ranch in the burrow, so near,
They ask an old man, wise and gray,
"Where can we find Barrera today?"
"We've come looking for him, you know,"
"For the weed he grows, high and low."

The old man answers, calm and slow,
"I don't know what you're talking about, no,"
"I'm a good rancher, honest and true,"
"Born in Petaca, through and through."
"Barrera is up there, high above,"
"Not even dogs can make him move."

The howls were heard, loud and clear,
Of every wild beast, full of fear,
And the chief tells them all, with a glare,
"I'll kill anyone who dares to despair,"
"I'll bring Barrera back, dead or alive,"
"No matter what, I will survive."

There in the early morning light,
When sleep overcame them in the night,
While they were all sleeping, unaware,
Barrera attacked them, then and there,
Killing them one by one, with might,
And covered them with weed, a chilling sight.

The federales died, every one,
In the hands of that beast, the battle done,
There among the bushes, hidden from view,
Where Barrera resides, strong and true,
And he still remains, to this day,
The true lion of the sierra, they say.
