Paroles et traduction Simón Díaz - El Negro y el Catire

El Negro y el Catire

Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco
Becerrero, becerrero con una pena en el alma
Abre la puerta al tranquero pa'que la pena se vaya. (bis)

Está sembrado de amor y esta empezando a querer
El becerrero del fundo
Es la primera mujer que lo ha mirado profundo. (bis)

En los fogones del hato hay una rosa encarnada
Y el becerrero hace rato como queriendo apagarla. (bis)

En el cincho ya no hay queso no saca suero ni le quiebra la cuajada
Por el tropel de unos besos le tumbo la empalizada.(bis)
Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco
Que el ordeñador le cante le está pidiendo Orinoco
Y se enreda con la tranca y se le salen los ojos.(bis)

Se le murió el becerrito recién nacido porque no lo curó a tiempo
Camina sin rumbo fijo con el corazón enfermo. (bis)

Se le mamaron las vacas ya no anda con la peonada
Y se le caen de la mata los sueños de madrugada. (bis)

Becerrero, becerrero por vida tuya en el botalón de horqueta
Amárratela del pecho pa'que se acabe la fiesta. (bis)

Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco
Becerrero... becerrero... becerrero... becerrero

The Black and the Blonde

Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco
Cattle boy, cattle boy with a pain in his soul
Open the gate so the pain can leave. (twice)

He's in love and he's falling deep
The young cattle boy of the ranch
She's the first woman who's looked at him deep in the eyes. (twice)

There's a red rose by the campfire
And the young cattle boy has been wanting to put it out for a while now. (twice)

There's no more cheese in his canteen, he doesn't make whey or break the curd
Because of all the kisses, he's knocking down the fence. (twice)
Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco
The milker sings to him, Orinoco, he's asking for it
And he gets tangled in the gate and his eyes pop out. (twice)

His little calf died recently because he didn't treat it in time
He walks aimlessly with a broken heart. (twice)

The cows have sucked him dry, he's no longer with the cowboys
And his dreams at dawn are falling from the trees. (twice)

Cattle boy, cattle boy, for the sake of your life, on the wooden cross
Tie her to your chest so the party can end. (twice)

Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco... Orinoco
Cattle boy... cattle boy... cattle boy... cattle boy
