Se Les Pelo Baltazar
La Arrolladora Banda El Limon
Lyrics
Translation
Estando moliendo caña
While grinding sugarcane
En mi ranchito querido
In my beloved little ranch
Buscaban a baltazar
They were looking for Baltazar
Para llevarlo al presidio
To take him to prison
Eran buenos cazadores
They were skilled hunters
Con experiencia al todiyo
Experienced in everything
A un venado lampareado
For a mottled deer
Es difícil de cazar
It's hard to hunt
Aunque le pongan la trampa
Even if they set a trap
Tiene experiencia al brincar
It has experience in leaping
Se quedaron con las ganas
They were left with the desire
Se les pelo baltazar
Baltazar slipped away from them
Solo el que carga el morral
Only he who carries the bag
Le sabe su contenido
Knows its contents
Por eso la federal
That's why the federal
Quería llevarlo al presidio
Wanted to take him to prison
No se le comprobo nada
Nothing was proven against him
Se les bajo en el camino
He got away on the way
Se fue con rumbo a la sierra
He went towards the mountains
Montado en su bailador
Riding his dancing horse
Su caballo preferido
His favorite horse
Que lo quiere con amor
That loves him dearly
Lo mismo baila un huapango
It dances the same to a huapango
Un corrido o una canción
A corrido or a song
Ay culiacan tan hermoso
Oh, Culiacan so beautiful
Desde el filo de la sierra
From the edge of the mountains
Sus lucez yo las diviso
I see its lights
Como mirar las estrellas
Like looking at the stars
Como extraño a mis amigos
How I miss my friends
También a mi linda güera
Also my lovely fair-skinned girl
Afinen los instrumentos
Tune the instruments
Voy a empezar a cantar
I'm going to start singing
La arrolladora el limon
La Arrolladora El Limon
Ya va a empezar a tocar
Is about to start playing
El merito seis de Enero
The merit of January 6th
Se festeja a Baltazar
We celebrate Baltazar
