Sonora y Sus Ojos Negros

Sonora and Her Black Eyes

Sonora y Sus Ojos Negros

In a passenger truckEn un camión pasajero
Of those who go to SonoraDe esos que van pa' Sonora
I was tired and sleepyYo iba cansado y con sueño
When a lady came upCuando subió una señora
With big black eyesCon unos ojazos negros
You should be charmingDeberas encantadora

Over there arriving at Los MochisPor ahí llegando a Los Mochis
I saw good manners in himYo le vi buenos Modales
I asked him where he was fromLe pregunté que de donde era
He told me that he was from NogalesMe dijo que de Nogales
That was going to MagdalenaQue iba para Magdalena
To visit his parentsA visitar a sus padres

From Obregon to HermosilloDesde Obregón a Hermosillo
We talked very nicelyPlaticamos muy bonito
I like you as a friendMe gusta usted para amigo
And he came a little closer to meY se me arrimó un poquito
But in Santa Ana, of coursePero en Santa Ana de plano
He let himself be given a little kissSe dejó dar un besito

Give me another kiss on the mouthDame otro beso en la boca
But let no one see usPero que nadie nos vea
What does it matter if this is Caborca?Qué importa si aquí es Caborca
Black Water or CananeaAgua Prieta o Cananea
I was going to MagdalenaIba para Magdalena
Now I'm going whereverAhora voy pa' donde sea

In Santa Ana and AtabampoEn Santa Ana y Atabampo
I was always mistreatedSiempre fui maltratada
If he hasn't loved me so muchSi no me ha querido tanto
Don't bring me in your armsNo me trajera abrazada
Did some saint send you?A usted le mandó algún santo
So that I could find itPara que yo lo encontrara

Guaymas and Puerto PeñascoGuaymas y Puerto Peñasco
Don't think I've forgotten youNo crean que los he olvidado
He slept in my armsEs que durmió entre mis brazos
In San Luis Rio ColoradoEn San Luis Río Colorado
And when singing to his big eyesY al cantarle a sus ojazos
I sing to your beautiful stateLe canto a su lindo estado
