As I strum to the huapango And I watch life passing by I have wandered to this country To the beat of my heart's cry And I praise my songs with flowers. 2. I won't deny that I'm a sinner I'm a mortal in the mud But my voice is of a dreamer, A Mexican of flesh and blood, And I'm singing La Huasanga Of Veracruz, the land of God. 3. My Huasteca is Veracruz Where the sea rocks me to sleep And the early morning blues Are sung by cenzontles' peep; When the seaside night lets loose Cocuyo lights are so deep. There's no love that's never ending—even bonds that seem unbending So the world will have its ending—when the Earth has finished turning When the Earth has finished turning—no one needs to be lamenting No one needs to be lamenting—when your love comes to an ending You must live and not be bitter—like the flowers you will whither.

Legend tells that salty waters Have seductions when it's dark It's been confirmed, it is true In the water lives a shark In the water lives a shark And the siren, oh so blue. Yes the siren is so blue At least as far as I know Once she bathed on a river Holy Thursday brought her low She was a righteous woman Now a fish tail she must grow. 2. Petenera, Petenera I would really like to sing Pray, if I only were able Yes, to set my soul so free Like the siren sings a fable All the way accross the sea. La Petenera, behold! A song that no one can sing Only sailors who are bold And have listened to her plea Once they've heard the siren's call They have set sails to the sea.

High up above, up above is where the bull roars And down below, down below is where they listen Yes by the gates, by the gates of the corral Lassos are thrown, they are thrown and buckles glisten. Run, run pretty woman, run, run to the bail Try to go around the bull without a tail. 2. Yes its the bulls, its the bulls that make that big roar Yes down below, down below under the accaci-o. Yes and the wee, and the woman love their men Best when they’re big, and they wear a big mustachio. Grind it pretty woman, grind that sugar cane When you crack the mill, then, honey seeps away. El Zopilote 1. Oh buzzard! where do you come from I've flown the meadow and canyon You've eaten flesh from a dead horse Filthy bird you're no companion Tell me vulture where d'you come from. 2.

Uy, uy uy she's crawling inside it. Uy, uy. uy she already did. 2. Now this song is almost over It was called the iguana's song Let it finish when it's over Won't you sing it 'til I'm gone. Zapateado 1. I went out to take a stroll Through the streets of ol' Havana When wrapped in my bandana I tossed a pebble to the sea. It flew as far as I could see Later on I saw it fall And a bubble nearly crawl When the waves of blue dispersed. Then the stone fully submerged 'Til I saw nothing at all. 2. Like jaranas, I'm built well And my heart is made of cedar. That is why I never fear When my heart rings like a bell. Yes, my voice will cast a spell Like a linnet in his song, And my music will be strong With my throat ever so swift That my heart will nearly lift Winds accross the field so long. 3. If you ever hear them say That they'll miss me when I'm dead Think about what they have said 'Cause I can't live one more day. Very soon you'll hear them say We have lost the king of lovers Don't you cry there will be others 'Cause it's time for me to rest Bring me flowers, find the best So my tombstone no one bothers. Aguanieve 1. They have asked for me to sing And I don't know what to do But there's little in this world That I wouldn't do for you. 2.

Yes your eyes are, oh, so pretty They're as nice as I have said And they don't deserve to cry Someone cries for them instead. 4.

If you dance to La Bamba, you'll surely need (A) bit of grace (and) good intentions, for you and me. CHORUS: ay arriba y arriba, y arriba iré (cheer) I was never a sailor That’s what I say, that’s what I say, that’s what I say. 2. You are just like a rose, from far away That looks red in the evening, and white today. 3. When I'm singing La Bamba, I feel a spark ‘Cause it comes from within, deep in my heart. 4. When I'm singing La Bamba, I feel the blues Because this is my anthem, from Veracruz. 5. In my house thay all say, I am so prude Because I have a girlfriend, that looks so good. 6. Yes, the woman I love, is Dominican And she dances La Bamba, like no one can. PREGÓN Ay, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay It's La Bamba my brothers, of African blood It was danced by our mothers, with greatest love Veracruz and Chicago, have tapped the dance To remember the story, of fugitives Who sang deep in the forest, with rustic drums They were writing La Bamba, deep in our hearts I will climb to a mountain, and reach the sky To the highest of Heavens, yes I will fly, and I will fly, and I will fly. Bamba, bamba,… 7. Come on sweet little girl, let us go 'round Where the full moon is rising, and the sun goes down. 8. I love women with dark skin, since heard say That brown skined is the Lady, of Guadalupe. 9. Now I beg you for mercy, the time has come Let us finish La Bamba, do another song. |
