Lyrics
(Ajua, ajua, ya no vuelvo al otro lado
Porque no se hablar ingles
Y los que lo saben, pos no me entienden)
Natalio Reyes Colas, en Tamaulipas nacido
Pelado fino y audaz, en Río Bravo crecido
Cruzo sin mirar pa atrás
Dejando novia, comprometido, con quien casar
No era flaca, era gordita, Petra Garza Benavidez
Llorando dijo a Natalio Reyes Colas, no me olvides
Soy mas bien fea, que hermosa
Pero donde hallas otra que sea más hacendosa
(Nomás cruzo la línea divisoria, por el otro lado
Y se encontró con Mable, Mable Ortiz
Una pochita que hasta el nombre le cambio
En vez de Natalio, le puso Nat
En vez de Reyes, King, y Col por Colas
Ahora es «Nat King Col», (Martínez de la Garza)
Bracero, bracero, ya no quiere polka, con el acordeón
Ora se disloca, al compás del «Rock & Roll»
Olvido a Petrita, quiere a la pollita
Y ahora hasta le canta como «Nat King Col»
Bracero, bracero, love is a many splendor thing
It’s April rose that only grows in the early spring
Love is nature’s way of giving
A reason for leaving, Bracero, bracero
Pero la pollita lo dejo en la calle
No sabía más que cantar y bailar, de cocinar nada
Puro «Ham & eggs», Waflees, and «Hamburger with catsup»
Si aquel estaba impuesto a pura tortilla con chile
Natalio Reyes Colas, se regreso a la frontera
Se vino a pata y en ride, diciendo yo no he de hallar
Otra prieta que me quiera, como Petrita
Aunque feita, si sabe amar, ajua
Lyrics translation
(Ajua, ajua, I'm not going back to the other side
Because I can't speak English
And those who know, pos do not understand me)
Natalio Reyes Colas, born in Tamaulipas
Thin and bold peeled, in Rio Bravo grown
I cross without looking back
Leaving girlfriend, engaged, to marry
She wasn't skinny, she was fat, Petra Garza Benavidez
Crying he said to Natalio Reyes Colas, do not forget me
I'm rather ugly, than beautiful
But where you find another that's more affluent
(I just cross the dividing line on the other side
And he met Mable, Mable Ortiz
A little bit that I even changed the name
Instead of Natalio, he put Natalio
Instead of Kings, King, and cabbage by tails
Now it's "Nat King Col", (Martinez De La Garza)
Bracero, bracero, no longer wants polka, with the accordion
Ora dislocates, to the Beat Of " Rock & Roll»
I forget Petrita, he wants the Chick
And now she even sings to him like " Nat King Col»
Bracero, bracero, love is a many splendor thing
It's April rose that only grows in the early spring
Love is nature's way of giving
A reason for leaving, Bracero, bracero
But the chick left him on the street
I knew nothing but singing and dancing, cooking nothing
Pure "Ham & eggs", Waflees, and " Hamburger with catsup»
If that was imposed on pure tortilla with chili
Natalio Reyes Colas, back to the border
He came to paw and ride, saying I shall not find
Another prieta who loves me, like Petrita
Although feita, if you know how to love, help
