Текст и перевод песни La Energia Norteña - 500 Novillos

500 Novillos

Cuando salimos del rancho
Con la fuerte novillada
Ay que trabajos pasamos
En aquella gran llanada

Eran quinientos novillos
Todititos muy livianos
No los pudimos parar
Entre veinte americanos

En la hacienda del Pirul
Se soltó un toro bragado
El caporal lo lazó
En su caballo el venado

Y cuida'o con esos caballos muchachos
Y que se oiga bonito mi Energía Norteña

La mamá de un vaquero
Le pregunta al caporal
Que razón me da de mi hijo
Que no lo he visto llegar

Señora si le dijera
Se pusiera usted a llorar
A su hijo lo mató un toro
En las trancas de un corral

Ya con esta me despido
Ya no tengo qué cantar
Estos versos los compuso
Elibario el caporal

500 Novillos

When we left the ranch
With the strong herd
How we struggled to round 'em up
On that great vast plain

There were five hundred half-grown cattle
And they were all feisty and wild
We couldn't stop them
Not even with twenty Americans

At the Pirul ranch
A brindle bull got loose
The foreman roped him
On his horse, the deer

And watch out for those horses, boys
And let my Energía Norteña sound sweet

A cowboy's mother
Asks the foreman
What news can you give me of my son?
I haven't seen him come home

Ma'am, if I were to tell you
You'd start to cry
Your son was killed by a bull
In the bars of a corral

Now I must be off
I have no more to sing
These verses were composed by
Elibario the foreman
