Corriente and Canelo

Corriente y Canelo

He left following the trailSe fue siguiendo la huella
Of the master who didn't returnDel amo que no volvia
It had been more than three daysTenía más de tres días
That he didn't want to eatQue no quería comer

He was common and cinnamonEra corriente y canelo
The dog that I refer toEl perro que yo refiero
They called him fandangueroLo llamaron fandanguero
When they saw him growCuando lo vieron crecer

What a dog, but what a noble animalQue perro, pero que noble animal
That dog I will never forgetQue perro nunca se me ah de olvidar
One October nightSalió una noche de octubre
From San Juan del RioDe alla del San Juan del rio

He didn't feel hunger or coldNo sintio el hambre ni el frío
He wanted to find his masterA su amo quería encontrar
He arrived far in QueretaroLlego a Queretaro lejos
He looked at the stars in San LuisMiro en San Luis las estrellas

And at dawn his tracksY un amanecer sus huellas
He left in MatehualaEn matehuala dejo
What a dog, but what a noble animalQue perro, pero que noble animal
That dog I will never forgetQue perro nunca se ah de olvidar

When he passed through SaltilloCuando paso por Saltillo
He encountered many coyotesTopo con muchos coyotes
He killed and ran through the mountainsMato y corrio por los montes
To continue his journeyPara su viaje seguir

In Monterrey and SabinasEn Monterrey y sabinas
He felt he was soon finding himSintio que pronto lo hallaba
Tired, he was already bendingCansado ya se doblaba
But he didn't want to sleepPero no quizo dormir

Then he crossed the borderLuego cruzo la frontera
Sniffing on the other sideVentiando del otro lado
The master he had been looking forAl amo que había buscado
Until he finally found himHasta que al fin lo encontro

He lay in a graveSe echo en una sepultura
Where there was a signDonde estaba un letrero
Here lies a brazierAquí se encuentra un brasero
And the noble dog diedY el noble perro murio
