Los Tigres del Norte Ramiro Sierra translation
La nieve estaba cayendo
The snow was falling
los pinos se congelaban
the pines were freezing
en el risco del madroño
on the ridge of madroño
unas armas apuntaban
some weapons pointed
solo las plumas de nieve
only the snow feathers
aquellas miras nublaban.
those sights clouded.
Se oyó mugir un novillo
A bull was heard
que venia con la manada
that came with the herd
y los cascos del caballo
and the horse's hooves
del señor que los arreaba
of the man who was driving them
Ramiro dejo la bestia
Ramiro left the beast
mientras el risco rodeaba.
while the cliff surrounded.
El caballo era un criollito
The horse was a criollito
pero muy bien arrendado
but very well leased
por eso sin su jinete
that's why without his rider
supo realar el ganado
knew how to realar the cattle
Ramiro estaba orgulloso
Ramiro was proud
de su retinto dos albo.
of his retinto dos albo.
Les dijo Ramiro Sierra
Ramiro Sierra told them
aquí no se engaña nadie
nobody is deceived here
yo solo vine a cobrarles
I just came to charge them
la muerte de mi compadre

y a recoger el ganado
and to collect the cattle
que le robaron cobardes.
They robbed him of cowards.
Eran seiscientos novillos
There were six hundred bulls
también ganado lechero
también ganado lechero
por eso lo codiciaban
That's why they coveted him
esos malditos cuatreros
those rustlers
mas no sabían que Ramiro
but they did not know that Ramiro
les iba rajar el cuero.
they were going to split the leather.
Calibre dos veintitrés
Caliber two twenty three
que bonito cacareabas
how nice you cackled
se confundían los quejidos
the moans were confused
con el mugir de las vacas
with the mooing of the cows
y los ecos en la sierra
and the echoes in the sierra
esa balada grababan.
that ballad they recorded.
Adiós caballo retinto
Goodbye horse retinto
siempre serás el primero
you will always be the first
ya murió don Pablo Chávez
already died Pablo Chavez
aquel rico ganadero
that rich rancher
ojala que aya en cielo
I hope that aya in heaven
sigas errando becerros.
continue to miss calves.
