The Dark-Haired One

El Moreno

Bless me, holy childValgame el, santo niñito
Doesn't know how to show favorNo sabe favorecer
Drunk is 'The Dark-Haired One'Anda borracho "El Moreño"
God knows what will happenSabra dios que valla ser

'The Dark-Haired One'"El Moreño"
He shouted at themLes gritaba
He was a man and didn't back downEra hombre y no se rajaba
Rising in the mountainsEncumbrandose en la sierra
Only God he would forgiveSolo a dios el perdonaba

'The Dark-Haired One'"El Moreño"
He shouted at themLes gritaba
Jumping over a wire fenceBrincando un cerco de alambre
I still have money leftTodavia me sobra parque
Continuing like that, starvingContinuo a si muerto de hambre

'The Dark-Haired One'"El Moreño"
He was foundEncuéntrasete
Rolling like a ballRodando como una bola
It would be his bad luckYa seria su mala suerte
His gun fellSe le callo la pistola

Here's a greeting to allAy le va un saludo para toda
The people from ZACATECAS!!La raza de ZACATECAS!!
From 'The Bull'De parte de "El Novillo"

'The Dark-Haired One'"El Moreño"
Had moneyTraiba parque
But the money was no goodPero el parque no servia
That's why in San IgnacioEs por eso en San Ignacio
The police caught himLo aprendió la policia

Fly, flyVuela, vuela
Little dovePalomita
Perch on those logsParrate en aquellos leños
Here ends the balladAqui se acaba el corrido
Of that famous 'Dark-Haired One'...De ese famoso "Moreño"………………….
