Se Les Pelo Baltazar

Baltazar Slipped Away

Se Les Pelo Baltazar

While grinding sugar caneEstando moliendo caña
In my beloved little ranchEn mi ranchito querido
They were looking for BaltazarBuscaban a Baltazar
To take him to the penPara llevarlo al presidio
They were good huntersEran buenos cazadores
With experience in the chaseCon experiencia al codillo

A spotlighted deerA un venado lampareado
Is hard to catchEs difícil de cazar
Even if they set a trapAunque le pongan la trampa
It knows how to jumpTiene experiencia al brincar
They were left wantingSe quedaron con las ganas
Baltazar slipped awaySe les peló Baltazar

Only the one who carries the bagSolo el que carga el morral
Knows what's insideLe sabe su contenido
That's why the fedsPor eso la federal
Wanted to take him to the penQuería llevarlo al presidio
Nothing was proven against himNo se le comprobo nada
He slipped away on the waySe les bajo en el camino

He headed towards the mountainsSe fue con rumbo a la sierra
Riding on his dancerMontado en su bailador
His favorite horseSu caballo preferido
That he loves with all his heartQue lo quiere con amor
It can dance a guapangoLo mismo baila un guapango
A corrido or a songUn corrido o una canción

Oh Culiacán, so beautifulHay Culiacán tan hermoso
From the edge of the mountainsDesde el filo de la sierra
I can see your lightsSus luces yo las diviso
Like looking at the starsComo mirar las estrellas
How I miss my friendsComo extraño a mis amigos
Also my lovely blondeTambién a mi linda güera
