Corrido De Baltazar
Voces Del Rancho
Lyrics
Translation
Estando moliendo caña
While grinding sugarcane
En su ranchito querido
In his beloved little ranch
Buscaban a baltazar
They were looking for Baltazar
Para llevarlo al presidio
To take him to the prison
Eran buenos cazadores
They were skilled hunters
Con experiencia al peligro
Experienced in danger
Un venado lampariado
A spotted deer
Es difícil de cazar
Is 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 wanting
Se les peló baltazar
Baltazar slipped away from them
Solo el que carga el moral
Only he who carries the moral
Le sabe su contenido
Knows its content
Por eso la federal
That's why the federal
Quería llevarlo al presidio
Wanted to take him to the prison
No se les comprobó nada
Nothing was proven against them
Se les bajo en el camino
They let him go on the way
Se fue con rumbo a la sierra
He went towards the mountains
Montado en su bailador
Riding his dancer
Su caballo preferido
His favorite horse
Que lo quiere con amor
Which he loves dearly
Lo mismo baila un huapango
It dances the same to a huapango
Que un corrido o una canción
As to a corrido or a song
Ay culiacán tan hermoso
Oh Culiacan so beautiful
Desde el filo de la sierra
From the edge of the mountains
Tus luces yo las diviso
I can see your 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 beautiful blonde
Los compas de guanajuato
The buddies from Guanajuato
Van a empezar a tomar
Are about to start drinking
Y aquí las "voces del rancho"
And here "Voces del Rancho"
Están listo pa' cantar
Are ready to sing
El merito 6 de enero
The merit of January 6th
Se festeja baltazar……….
Baltazar is celebrated…….
