Lyrics - Spanish
(Mexican folk song)
Alla en el rancho grande, alla donde vivia
Habia una rancherita, que allegre me decia
Que allegre me decia
Te voy a hacer tus calzones
Como los que usa el ranchero
Te los comienzo de lana
Te los acabo de cuero
English Translation - The big ranch
There on the big ranch, there where I used to live
There was a little rancher-girl who happily used to say to me
Who happily used to say to me
I will make your pants
Like the ones the rancher wears
I’ll start them for you, from wool
I’ll finish them for you, in leather.
There was a little rancher-girl who happily used to say to me
Who happily used to say to me
I will make your pants
Like the ones the rancher wears
I’ll start them for you, from wool
I’ll finish them for you, in leather.

Calzado en lana y en cuero, el caballero va despedir corriendo fuera del rancho grande.
