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
