Translation

Llegaba peña sonriente

Peña arrived smiling

A donde habia un fandango

Where there was a fandango

Decia no soy muy valiente

He said, "I'm not very brave"

Ni me la ando recargando

Nor do I go around showing off

Se que tengo mis pendientes

I know I have my pending issues

Pero no vengo a buscarlos

But I'm not here to address them


Aqui en mi pueblo

Here in my town

Y sus ranchos

And its ranches

Donde acostumbro pasearme

Where I usually stroll

Soy amigo de los machos

I am a friend of the tough guys

Permitanme presentarme

Allow me to introduce myself

Soy lucio peña muchachos

I am Lucio Peña, guys

Y no e sabido rajarme

And I haven't known how to back down


Me gusta las coleaderas

I like bull riding events

Las carreras de caballos

Horse races

Me gusta usar chaparreras

I like wearing chaps

Y darle rienda a mi ballo

And letting loose on the dance floor

Si neceita una ranchera

If you need a ranchera

Por dios santo que no fallo

By holy God, I never fail


Tengo fama de bandido

I have a reputation as a bandit

Pero jamas e robado

But I've never stolen

Dicen que soy asesino

They say I'm a killer

Porque a varios e matado

Because I've killed several

E rifado mi destino

I've risked my destiny

Gracias a dios e ganado

Thanks to God, I've prevailed


Asi han pasado los años

So the years have passed

Y el tiempo no guarda nada

And time keeps nothing

Aquellos campos extraño

Those strange fields

Hoy veo mi vida cambiada

Today I see my life changed

Ya no me achacan mas daños

They no longer blame me for more harm

Porque soy de la acordada

Because I belong to the authority


Solo guardo de mi ballo

I only keep from my dance

Una montura plateada

A silver saddle

Conmigo siempre e llevado

I've always carried with me

Una 38 escuadra

A .38 revolver

Deseeo montar a caballo

I wish to ride a horse

Como antes yo me paseaba

Like I used to stroll before
