Lyrics

Allá en el rancho grande
Allá donde vivía
Había una rancherita
Que alegre me decía
Que alegre me decía
Te voy a hacer tu camisa
Como la que usa un ranchero
Con el cuello a media espalda
Y las mangas hasta el suelo
Allá en el rancho grande
Allá donde vivía
Había una rancherita
Que alegre me decía
Que alegre me decía
Te voy a hacer tus calzones
Como los que usa un ranchero
¿Y luego?
Te los comienzo de lana
Y te los acabo de cuero
Allá en el rancho grande, etc
El gusto de las rancheras
¿Cuál es?
Es usar su buen calzado
Y ponérselo el domingo
Cuando bajan al poblado
Allá en el rancho grande, etc
El gusto de los rancheros
¿Cuál es?
Es tener su buen caballo
¿Y luego?
Apretarle bien la silla
Y correrlo por el llano
Allá en el rancho grande, etc
El gusto de las rancheras
Es tener su buen comal
Echa unas gordas largas
Y gritarle al gavilán
Allá en el rancho grande, etc
El gusto de las rancheras
¿Cuál es?
Es bajar el agua al pozo
¿Y luego?
A platicar con el novio
Y estar mordiendo el rebozo
Allá en el rancho grande, etc
Me enamoré de un ranchero
Por ver si me daba elotes
Pero el ingrato ranchero
No me daba más que azotes
Allá en el rancho grande, etc
El gusto de las rancheras
¿Cuál es?
Es comprarse un buen chomite
Y sentarse por las tardes
Con su cazuela de esquite

Lyrics translation

Over there at the big ranch
Where I lived
There was a little rancherita
How cheerful he said to me
How cheerful he said to me
I'll make you your shirt
Like the one used by a rancher
With the neck half back
And the sleeves to the floor
Over there at the big ranch
Where I lived
There was a little rancherita
How cheerful he said to me
How cheerful he said to me
I'll make you your panties
Like the ones a rancher uses
And then?
You start them from lana
And I just leather them.
Over there at the big ranch, etc
The taste of rancheras
What is it?
Is to wear his good shoes
And put it on Sunday
When they go down to the village
Over there at the big ranch, etc
The taste of ranchers
What is it?
Is to have his good horse
And then?
Squeeze the chair tight
And run it across the plain
Over there at the big ranch, etc
The taste of rancheras
Is to have his good comal
Throw some long fat ones
And yell at the Hawk
Over there at the big ranch, etc
The taste of rancheras
What is it?
Is to lower the water to the well
And then?
To talk to the groom
And be biting the rebozo
Over there at the big ranch, etc
I fell in love with a rancher
To see if he gave me corn
But the ungrateful rancher
All he gave me was whipping
Over there at the big ranch, etc
The taste of rancheras
What is it?
Is to buy a good chomite
And sit in the evenings
With its skite casserole
