The 3 Huastecas

Las 3 huastecas

To talk about the Huasteca, one must have been born therePara hablar de la Huasteca, hay que haber nacido allá
Savor the dried meat, with sips of mezcalSaborear la carne seca, con traguitos de mezcal
Smoke a leaf cigarette, light it with flintFumar cigarrito de hoja, prenderlo con pedernal
And the one who wets it best, will smoke it longerY aquel que mejor lo moja, mas largo lo fumara

That Huasteca, I don't know what it hasEsa Huasteca, yo no se lo que tendrá
Whoever knows it once, returns and stays thereEl que una vez la conoce, regresa y se queda allá
Beautiful Huasteca, I won't be able to forget youHuasteca linda, yo no te podré olvidar
If I was born with your affection, and I was born with your singingSi nací con tu querencia, y nací con tu cantar

The Huasteca Potosina, has plenty of flowersLa Huasteca Potosina, tiene flores de a montón
Mountains full of mist, and slopes of illusionSierras llenas de neblina, y laderas de ilusión
In the Huasteca Hidalguense, hearts are not rentedEn la Huasteca Hidalguense, no se alquila el corazón
Those who don't say sorry, don't wake up in their bedAquel que no diga dispense, no amanece en su colchón

That Huasteca, who knows what it hasEsa Huasteca, quien sabe lo que tendrá
Whoever knows it once, returns and stays thereEl que una vez la conoce, regresa y se queda allá
Beautiful Huasteca, I won't be able to forget youHuasteca linda, yo no te podré olvidar
If I was born with your affection, and I was born with your singingSi nací con tu querencia, y nací con tu cantar

Huasteca Veracruzana, that lulls with the seaHuasteca Veracruzana, que se arrulla con el mar
That sings with the mountains, and sleeps in the palm groveQue canta con las montañas, y se duerme en el palmar
Sly bulls are lassoed, running through the brushSe lazan toros ladinos, corriendo por el breñal
While the violins cry, playing guapangos in the corralMientras lloran los violines, guapangueando en el corral

That Huasteca, I don't know what it hasEsa Huasteca, yo no se lo que tendrá
Whoever knows it once, returns and stays thereEl que una vez la conoce, regresa y se queda allá
Beautiful Huasteca, I won't be able to forget youHuasteca linda, yo no te podré olvidar
If I was born with your affection, and I was born with your singingSi nací con tu querencia, y nací con tu cantar
