La Charreada

(albüm: Canciones De Mi Padre - 1987)

[Spanish:]

Ay... que rechula es la fiesta
La fiesta charra, fiesta del sol

Don... de los charros valientes
Dan cos sus cantos la evocaion

El... jaripeo y su festejo
Que huele a surco y a tradicion

Remedo de la faena
Mas admirada de mi nacion

Bonito es el jaripeo
Y cuanto su animacion
Yo quiero montarle a un toro
Pa' que me mire mi amor

Upale y upa liu...

[English translation: The Charreada]

How very pretty is this fiesta
The charro fiesta, fiesta in the sun

Where the valiant charros
Evoke such feeling with their songs

The festive grand entry
Smacks of tradition and the furrows
Of the earth

It resembles the action of the bullfight
So admired in my nation

Pretty is the grand entry and how
Great its excitement
I want to ride the bull
So that my love can see me

Upale y upa liu...
