| Hasta el ranchito que tengo, llego una yegua en calor
| Even the little ranch I have, a mare arrived in heat
|
| Andaba buscando potro, pa' que le hiciera un favor
| She was looking for a foal, to do her a favor
|
| Entonces salto las trancas, mi semental el honor
| Then I jump the bars, my stallion the honor
|
| Luego buscando a la yegua, llego una chula ranchera
| Then looking for the mare, a chula ranchera arrived
|
| Dijo mi madre indiscreta «como me gusta pa' nuera»
| My indiscreet mother said "how I like it for my daughter-in-law"
|
| Y el corazon que me exige, que a mi madre complaciera
| And the heart that demands that my mother please
|
| CORO
| CHORUS
|
| Ya le escribi mis canciones
| I already wrote my songs
|
| Ya le lleve serenata
| I already serenaded him
|
| Pero dice mi ranchera
| But says my ranchera
|
| No querer meter la pata
| Not wanting to screw up
|
| Que si me quiere la engan~o
| That if she loves me I cheated on her ~ o
|
| Y si la engan~o me mata
| And if I cheat on her, she kills me
|
| La yegua que fue pa' el rancho, ya traia al pie su potrito
| The mare that went to the ranch was already carrying her little foal
|
| La duen~a me trae bien loco, nada me creia sencillo
| The owner makes me crazy, nothing seemed simple to me
|
| Dice que soy mujeriego, y el que le habla es mi colmillo
| She says I'm a womanizer, and the one who speaks to her is my fang
|
| CORO | CHORUS |
