Ranchera El Honor

Ranchera The Honor

Ranchera El Honor

To the little ranch I haveHasta el ranchito que tengo
A mare in heat arrivedLlegó una yegua en calor
She was looking for a stallionAndaba buscando potro
To do her a favorPa' que le hiciera un favor
Then she jumped the fencesEntonces saltó las trancas
My stud: The honorMi semental: El honor

Then, looking for the mareLuego, buscando a la yegua
A hot ranch girl showed upLlegó una chula ranchera
My mother, being nosyDijo mi madre, indiscreta
Said she’d make a great daughter-in-lawCómo me gusta pa' nuera
And my heart, that demandsY el corazón, que me exige
That I please my motherQue a mi madre complaciera

I've already written her my songsYa le escribí mis canciones
I've already serenaded herYa le llevé serenata
But my ranch girl saysPero dice mi ranchera
She doesn’t want to mess upNo querer meter la pata
That if she loves me, I’ll cheatQue si me quiere, la engaño
And if I cheat, she’ll kill meY si la engaño, me mata

The mare that went to the ranchLa yegua que fue pa'l rancho
Already had her foal at her sideYa traía al pie su potrillo
The owner drives me crazyLa dueña me trae bien loco
She doesn’t believe me, and it’s simpleNada me cree, y es sencillo
She says I’m a playerDice que soy mujeriego
And the one talking to her is my charmY el que le habla es mi colmillo

I've already written her my songsYa le escribí mis canciones
I've already serenaded herYa le llevé serenata
But my ranch girl saysPero dice mi ranchera
She doesn’t want to mess upNo querer meter la pata
That if she loves me, I’ll cheatQue si me quiere, la engaño
Her distrust is killing meSu desconfianza me mata
