Compadre Don Nacho
Compadre Don Nacho
Ahora si me llevó patas de catre compadre
Now I'm really taken down, buddy.
¿Por qué compadre, por qué?
Why, buddy, why?
Machetazo a caballo de espadas
A stroke like a sword on horseback.
¡No la fije!
Don't set it up!
Tanto año de andar de arriero
So many years being a packer,
Abriendo y dejando brecha
Opening paths and leaving trails.
Y la mula que más quiero
And the mule I love the most,
Hoy de repente se me echa
Today, all of a sudden, is down.
Tanto año de andar de arriero
So many years being a packer,
Abriendo y dejando brecha
Opening paths and leaving trails.
Yo que siempre presumía
I who always boasted,
Que en amores era el rey
That in love I was the king,
Y que todo lo sabía
And that I knew it all,
Que no me hacían a su ley
That they didn't make me follow their rules.
Yo que siempre presumía
I who always boasted,
Que en amores era el rey
That in love I was the king.
Por culpa de una pasión
Because of a passion's fault,
Por una pasión canija
Due to a wicked passion,
Hoy me duele el corazón
Today my heart aches,
Y por eso ando yo
And that's why I'm here,
Arrastrando la cobija
Dragging my blanket.
Yo me acostumbré a ganar
I got used to winning,
Y el triunfo siempre marea
And victory always can be dizzying.
Y hoy me ha tocado bailar y bailar y bailar
And today I have to dance and dance and dance,
Y bailé con la más fea
And I danced with the ugliest one.
Sígueme contando compadre
Keep telling me, buddy,
Síguete confesando, ándale
Keep confessing, come on!
Pues ahí te voy a continuar
Well, here I'm going to continue,
Pa' que veas como me llevó la china Hilaria
So you can see how that Hilaria took me away.
Yo que siempre presumía
I who always boasted,
Que en amores era el rey
That in love I was the king,
Y que todo lo sabía
And that I knew it all,
Que no me hacían a su ley
That they didn't make me follow their rules.
Yo que siempre presumía
I who always boasted,
Que en amores era el rey
That in love I was the king.
Por culpa de una pasión
Because of a passion's fault,
Por una pasión canija
Due to a wicked passion,
Hoy me duele el corazón
Today my heart aches,
Y por eso ando yo
And that's why I'm here,
Arrastrando la cobija
Dragging my blanket.
Yo me acostumbré a ganar
I got used to winning,
Y el triunfo siempre marea
And victory always can be dizzying.
Y hoy me ha tocado bailar y bailar y bailar
And today I have to dance and dance and dance,
Y bailé con la más fea
And I danced with the ugliest one.
De a tiro
Straight up.
