Corrido De Baltazar

Ballad of Baltazar

Corrido De Baltazar

While grinding sugar caneEstando moliendo caña
In his beloved little ranchEn su ranchito querido
They were looking for BaltazarBuscaban a baltazar
To take him to prisonPara llevarlo al presidio
They were good huntersEran buenos cazadores
Experienced in dangerCon experiencia al peligro

A cunning deerUn venado lampariado
Is hard to huntEs difícil de cazar
Even if they set a trapAunque le pongan la trampa
It has experience in jumpingTiene 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 moral
Knows its contentsLe sabe su contenido
That's why the federalPor eso la federal
Wanted to take him to prisonQuería llevarlo al presidio
Nothing was proven against himNo se les comprobó nada
They let him go on the waySe les bajo en el camino

He went towards the mountainsSe fue con rumbo a la sierra
Riding his dancing horseMontado en su bailador
His favorite horseSu caballo preferido
That loves him dearlyQue lo quiere con amor
It dances the same to a huapangoLo mismo baila un huapango
As to a ballad or a songQue un corrido o una canción

Oh beautiful CuliacánAy culiacán tan hermoso
From the edge of the mountainsDesde el filo de la sierra
I see your lightsTus 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

The buddies from GuanajuatoLos compas de guanajuato
Are about to start drinkingVan a empezar a tomar
And here the 'voices of the ranch'Y aquí las "voces del rancho"
Are ready to singEstán listo pa' cantar
On the 6th of JanuaryEl merito 6 de enero
Baltazar is celebrated...Se festeja baltazar……….
