Lyrics of Ramiro Sierra - Los Tigres Del Norte

Ramiro Sierra (original)

La nieve estaba cayendo
Los pinos se congelaban
En el risco del madroño
Unas armas apuntaban
Solo las plumas de nieve
Aquellas miras nublaban
Se oyo mugir un novillo
Que venía con la manada
Y los cascos del caballo
Del señor que las arreaba
Ramiro dejo la bestia
Mientras el risco rodeaba
El caballo era un criollito
Pero muy bien arrendado
Por eso sin su jinete
Supo rialar el ganado
Ramiro estaba orgulloso
De su retinto dos alvo
Les dijo Ramiro sierra
Aqui no se engaña a nadie
Yo solo vine a cobrarles
La muerte de mi compadre
Y a recoger el ganado
Que le robaron cobardes
Eran 600 novillos
También ganado lechero
Por eso lo codiciaban
Esos malditos cuatreros
Más no sabian que Ramiro
Les hiba a rajar el cuero
Calibre 2−23, que bonito cacareabas
Se confundian los quejidos
Con el mugir de las vacas
Y los ecos de la sierra
Esta balada grababa
Adios retinto dos alvo
Siempre seras el primero
Ya murio Don Pablo Chavez
Aquel rico ganadero
Ojala que haya en el cielo
Sigas herrando becerros

(translation)

the snow was falling
the pines froze
In the crag of the strawberry tree
guns pointed
Only the snow feathers
Those sights clouded
A steer was heard mooing
That he came with the pack
and the horse's hooves
Of the man who herded them
Ramiro left the beast
While the ridge surrounded
The horse was a Creole
but very well leased
That's why without his rider
He knew how to herd the cattle
Ramiro was proud
From his retinto two alvo
Ramiro sierra told them
No one is fooled here
I only came to charge you
The death of my compadre
And to collect the cattle
That cowards stole from him
there were 600 steers
Also dairy cattle
That's why they coveted him
those damn rustlers
More they did not know that Ramiro
I was going to cut their leather
Caliber 2−23, how beautiful you cackled
The moans were confused
With the mooing of the cows
And the echoes of the saw
This ballad recorded
Goodbye retinto two alvo
you will always be the first
Don Pablo Chavez is already dead
that rich rancher
I hope there is in heaven
keep shoeing calves
