El Rancherito

The Rancher

El Rancherito

I'm a poor rancherSoy un pobre rancherito
Who came down from the high mountainsQue bajé de la alta sierra
I come trusting in luckVengo confiando en suerte
I come to see a brunetteVengo a ver una morena

Every time I come down to the townCada que bajo pa'l pueblo
I see her every now and thenDe vez en cuando la miro
And seeing her so beautifulY al mirarla tan hermosa
My heart sighsMi corazón da un suspiro

To compose a verse for herPara componerle un verso
I would like to know her nameQuisiera saber su nombre
To tell her that I love herPa decirle que la quiero
That a man suffers for herQue por ella sufre un hombre

I wish I were a little rosebushQuisiera ser rosalito
To be among the flowersPara estar entre las flores
I wish I were her ownerQuisiera ser yo su dueño
And to give her my loveY entregarle mis amores
