Lyrics of La Cancion de los Vaqueros - Jorge Negrete

La Cancion de los Vaqueros (original)

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.

(translation)

Along the path of the plain
He is singing the caporal,
Herd ear cattle
For the field in the corral.
There is tender light in the paddock
Because the sun is going to burst,
And a time that a cowboy
Let the field romp.
Oh oh oh, look at me well,
Don't grab you cool, little girl
With your love
Tell me yes, don't say no,
You know that your owner, little girl
It's not me anymore.
The hidden coyote screeches,
I live on high, the hawk,
And a lost roaring bull
Between the green grass.
Not even a slice of cheese,
You leave because the sun is coming,
And a star is imprisoned
Between silks of blush.
Oh oh oh, look at me well,
Don't grab you cool, little girl
With your love
Tell me yes, don't say no,
You know that your owner, little girl
It's not me anymore.
