Barquillero
Ni pa' la machaca sirve burlesco, gritó un amigo
Aunque tenía buena sangre, no quisieron al potrillo
Y querían sacrificarlo porque mal había nacido
Barquillero le pusieron, que de generoso es hijo
Dijeron, no habría manera de sacarle buen provecho
Y casi lo regalaron como animal de desecho
Lo bonito que tenía lo traía dentro del pecho
Subestimaron al potro, que salió un cabrón bien hecho
La banda tocaba recio, eran las fiestas del pueblo
El cuaco estando cante se tiró a matar pa' el ruedo
No más lo vieron bailar, se picaron los rancheros
Traían cuacos de juguete al lado de Barquillero
También que caza es presa y hasta el sabio se equivoca
Si te toca aunque te quites, si no toca aunque te pongas
No es bueno hablar si no sabes, miren cómo son las cosas
Barquillero a dos, tres gentes vino y les tapó la boca
De no servir para nada a ser el más codiciado
Cinco Potrillos finos, de esos que nacen bailando
Puras patitas de a dólar y algo de ganado sardo
Dieron por el Barquillero, pues lo bueno sale caro
A los que no lo quisieron, bien les sirvió de experiencia
Y el que un día no valía nada, ahora ya no está a la venta
En un rancho de Jalisco, un arrendador comenta
Casi no trae semental, en la yegua de el cincuenta
Barquillero
Burlesque is not even good for beating people, a friend shouted
Although he had good blood, they did not want the colt
And they wanted to sacrifice him because he had been born badly
They named him Barquillero, because he is a generous son
They said, there would be no way to make good use of it
And they almost gave it away as a waste animal
The beautiful thing that I had, I carried it inside my chest
They underestimated the colt, who turned out to be a well-made bastard
The band played loudly, it was the town festival
The cuaco, while singing, threw himself into the ring to kill
As soon as they saw him dance, the ranchers got angry
They brought toy horses next to Barquillero
Also that hunting is prey and even the wise make mistakes
If it touches you even if you leave, if it doesn't touch you even if you put yourself in
It's no good to talk if you don't know, look how things are
Barquillero to two, three people came and covered their mouths
From useless to the most coveted
Five fine foals, the kind that are born dancing
Pure dollar paws and some Sardinian cattle
They went for the Barquillero, because good things are expensive
For those who didn't want it, it served them well as an experience
And what was once worthless is now no longer for sale
On a ranch in Jalisco, a landlord comments
She hardly has a stallion, on the fifty-year-old mare
