Lyrics
Por la vereda del llano
Va cantando el caporal,
Arrea ganado orejano
Para el campo en el corral.
Hay luz tierna en el potrero
Porque el sol va a reventar,
Y una época que un vaquero
Echa el campo a retozar.
Ay ay ay ay, mírame bien,
No te agarre molona, chiquita
Con tu querer.
Dime que si, no digas no,
Tu sabes que tu dueño, chiquita
No más soy yo.
Chilla el coyote escondido,
Vivo en lo alto, el gavilán,
Y un toro brama perdido
Entre el verde zacatal.
Ni una tajada de queso,
Te vas porque viene el sol,
Y un lucero queda preso
Entre sedas de arrebol.
Ay ay ay ay, mírame bien,
No te agarre molona, chiquita
Con tu querer.
Dime que si, no digas no,
Tu sabes que tu dueño, chiquita
No más soy yo.
Lyrics translation
By the sidewalk of the plain
The corporal is singing,
Arrea cattle ear
To the field at the corral.
There is tender light in the pasture
'Cause the sun's gonna burst,
And a time that a cowboy
Throw the field to frolic.
Ay ay ay ay, take a good look at me,
Don't get caught, girl.
With your love.
Tell me yes, don't say no,
You know your owner, little girl
It's not me anymore.
Shouts the coyote hidden,
I live on high, the Hawk,
And a bull roars lost
Enter the green zacatal.
Not a slice of cheese,
You're leaving because the sun is coming,
And a night star is imprisoned
Between snare silks.
Ay ay ay ay, take a good look at me,
Don't get caught, girl.
With your love.
Tell me yes, don't say no,
You know your owner, little girl
It's not me anymore.
