El Camino — Linda Ronstadt

written by Jesus Navarro

Por el quebrado camino Que va a la sierra huasteca Se oye cantar un jinete Que monta una yegua prieta

Al acompasado trote De la jaca tan inquieta Brota el agudo falsete Con que el jinete se alegra Ay la la la

De lejos vengo yo a verte a conseguir lo que quiero Aunque la vida me cueste

Asi el polvo en el camino Envuelve jinete y yegua Hasta que los dos se pierden Entre tupida arboleda

Despues ya solo se escucha Por la lejana vereda El falsete del huasteco Que al cantar Asi se expresa Ay la la la...

The Road

Along the broken road That runs along the huasteca range A horseman is heard singing Mounted on a dark mare

Accompanied by the trot Of his restless mount Breaking into high falsetto The rider joyfully sings

I've come from far away to see you To get what I long for Even if it will cost my life

Like that the dust in the road Surrounds horse and rider Until they both disappear In the thick forest

Later, all that is heard Is the huasteco's falsetto Ringing back from the distant trail
