Paroles et traduction Selena - La Tracalera

La Tracalera

Sali de Corpus porque no pague la renta
En San Antonio me encontré con otra cuenta
Allá en el valle los del carro me buscaban
Echaban chispas porque nunca me encontraban

A media noche me arranque para Laredo
Pero ni allí pude encontrar un paradero
En Austin supe que mis padres me buscaban
Hacía tiempo que ni un cinco les mandaba

Por eso ahora me llaman Tracalera
Por todo Texas no me dejan descansar
A ver si en Houston me gano mi dinero
Y el carro nuevo yo les vendré a pagar

Allí en Dallas me encontré una amiguita
Vente pa′ Waco que yo tengo moneditas
Pero la ley que le andaba vigilando
El día siguiente le pescaron contrabando

Allá en Victoria me paró la policía
Por varios cheques y una feria que debía
Llamé pa'l campo quiero hablar con hermana
Está dormida me contesta mi sobrina

Por eso ahora me llaman Tracalera
Por todo Texas no me dejan descansar
A ver si en Houston me gano mi dinero
Y el carro nuevo yo les vendré a pagar

The Trickster

I left Corpus because I couldn't pay the rent
In San Antonio, I found myself in debt again
In the Valley, the repo men were after me
They were fuming because they could never find me

In the middle of the night, I took off for Laredo
But I couldn't find a place to stay there either
In Austin, I learned that my parents were looking for me
I hadn't sent them a dime in a long time

That's why they call me the Trickster now
They won't let me rest anywhere in Texas
I'll see if I can earn some money in Houston
And I'll come back and pay for the new car

In Dallas, I found a girlfriend
Come to Waco, she said, I've got some money
But the police were watching her
And the next day, they caught her with contraband

In Victoria, the police pulled me over
For several checks and some money I owed
I called the farm, I want to talk to my sister
My niece answers, She's sleeping

That's why they call me the Trickster now
They won't let me rest anywhere in Texas
I'll see if I can earn some money in Houston
And I'll come back and pay for the new car
