yo la sembré para ver si era formal.
A los tres días que la dejé sin regar
al volver ya estaba seca, ya no quizó retoñar,
al volver ya estaba seca, ya no quizó retoñar.
Yo la regaba con agua que cae del cielo
y la regaba con lágrimas de mis ojos.
Mis amigos me dijeron:
"Ya no riegues esa flor,
esa flor ya no retoña, tiene muerto el corazón
esa flor ya no retoña, tiene muerto el corazón."
Highway patrol
Red Simpson
I got a star on my car and one on my chest,
a gun on my hip and the right to arrest.
I'm the guy who's the boss on this highway,
so watch out what you're doin' when you're drivin' my way.
If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know,
I'm workin' for the state, I'm the Highway Patrol.
Well, you'll know me when you see me, 'cause my door's painted white,
with my siren a-screamin' and my flashin' red light.
I work all day and I work all night,
just to keep law and order, tryin' to do what's right.
If I write you out a ticket, then you'd better drive slow,
I'm doin' my job, I'm the Highway Patrol.
Ref.:
I'm the Highway Patrol, the Highway Patrol,
my hours are long, and my pay is low.
But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow,
I'm doin' my job, I'm the Highway Patrol.
If you're drivin' to fast like you shouldn't do,
you can bet your boots, I'm comin' after you.
If you want to race then get on a race track,
if you try to run away I'm gonna bring you back,
I'm here to keep the speeders driving slow,
I'm doin' my job, I'm the Highway Patrol.

Buscando mi amor
Jesús Guadalupe Ojeda
De Veracruz a Manzanillo
de Zacatal a Oposol
de Apatzingán a Hermosillo
estoy buscando mi amor.
Perdí toda mi riqueza
mi familia mi honor
nada más gané tristeza
estoy buscando mi amor.
Del continente al océano
del ártico al ecuador
en la sierra, en el llano
estoy buscando mi amor.
de Zacatal a Oposol

en la sierra, en el llano
estoy buscando mi amor.
Blackjack County chain
Red Lane
I was sittin' beside the road in Blackjack County,
not knowing that the sheriff paid a bounty
for men like me that didn't have a penny to their names.
So he locked my leg in thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain.
And all we had to eat was bread and water
and each day we had to build that road a mile and a quarter.
And a black snake whip would cut our backs when some poor fool complained.
But we couldn't fight back wearin' 35 pounds of Blackjack County chain.
And then one night while the sheriff was a-sleepin'
we all gathered round him slowly creepin'.
And heaven help me to forget that night in the pouring rain
when we beat him death with the thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain.
Now the whip marks have all healed and I am thankful
that there's nothing but a scar around my ankle.
But most of all I'm glad no man will be a slave again
to a black snake whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain,
to a black snake whip and thirty-five pounds of Blackjack County chain.

El Pescador
Lorenzo Barcelata
El pescador se hizo a la mar,
lleva en su alma una dulce ilusión,
contento va, porque al remar,
piensa en su amada que en tierra dejó.
Boga Marinero, boga ya,
se perdió de vista el malecón
y su vela blanca sobre el mar,
será su ultimo adios.
De Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón
de Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón.
Traigo huachinango cómprelo,
pulpo fresquecito y camarón,
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó mi corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó este pobre corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz.
Dime que me diste con tu amor mi negrita
que se rindió mi corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor jarochita
cayó este pobre pescador.
De Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón

Walking after midnight
Don Hecht, Alan Block
I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
I go out walking after midnight
Searching for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Now that's just my way
Of saying I love you
I go out walking after midnight
Searching for you
I stop to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow
Maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walking after midnight
Out in the starlight
Just a-hopin' you may be
Somewhere a-walkin' after midnight
Searching for me
Out in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
I go out walking after midnight
Searching for you
I walk for miles along the highway
Now that's just my way
Of saying I love you
I go out walking after midnight
Searching for you
I stop to see a weeping willow
Crying on his pillow
Maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walking after midnight
Out in the starlight
Just a-hopin' you may be
Somewhere a-walkin' after midnight
Searching for me
Drinking my dinner
Stefan Hiss
I was looking for a place to drink my dinner
where no one cares how much I drink and why.
And now im sitting in this dark cantina,
I ain't cryin', it's just the smoke that hurts my eyes
I'm drinking to forget
but it ain't happened yet
but the good Lord knows I try.
The first course is an double shot of bourbon,
the second is a double shot of rye.
And then I have whatever's on the menu
as long as it is wet and makes me high.
I can't recall the last time I was sober,
can't recall the time I didn't wanna die.
So now I raise my glass and drink to the ignorant
who still believe that love is not a lie.
I'm drinking to forget
but it ain't happened yet
but when it's breakfast time I'll have another try.
where no one cares how much I drink and why.

La reina del dolor
Jesús Guadalupe Ojeda, Sol Bruguera
Eres la helada y el granizo, la razón de mi furor,
la sequía y el diluvio, eres la reina del dolor.
La sequía y el diluvio, la reina del dolor.
Eres el moho y la putridez, el parásito malhechor,
la razón de mi sufrimiento, eres la reina del dolor.
La razón de mi sufrimiento, la reina del dolor.
Siento los clavos y las espinas, la espada en mi corazón,
el azote y el flagelo, eres la reina del dolor.
El azote y el flagelo, la reina del dolor.
la sequía y el diluvio, eres la reina del dolor.

Cowboy Man
Lyle Lovett
She wore glass slippers, she held her head up high,
she had that sparkle at her feet and that twinkle in her eye.
She smiled at me and I wondered why.
She said I'm looking for a cowboy to take me for a ride.
And he can rope me on the prairie
and he can ride me on the plain
and I will be his Cinderella
if he'll be my cowboy man.
She said I've got a 40-gallon stetson hat with a 38-foot brim
and we can dance around the outside baby 'til we both fall in.
And you can rope me on the prairie
and you can ride me on the plain
and I will be your Cinderella
if you'll be my cowboy man.
No, I ain't never been no cowboy but heaven knows I try.
I'm gonna sit here riding tall in my saddle
with my Cinderella by my side.

Torpedo Run
Stefan Hiss
Which way does that ole pony run?
Lyle Lovett
When I was a very young man
I was a cowboy
The best in the land
But then she settled me down
With a touch of her hand
And I'm begging you mister, please
Please tell me if you can
Ref.:
Which way does that old pony run?
Which way does that old pony run?
And how much is that saddle?
And a straight shooting gun?
Which way does that old pony run?
Now a young girl
She don't know when she's lying
But a woman
Great God she knows how it's done
So mama before I go
There's just one thing on my mind
Which way does that old pony run
Ref.
Now this good life you know I must leave
Your new car
And your color TV
Because what's riches to you
Just ain't riches to me
And if you're staying out here
Then I'm headed back east

Desperado
Stefan Hiss
I became a desperado
on the day they took my land.
I've been robbing, I've been killing
and I dealt in contraband.
My job is hard and dirty
but I'm good at what I do.
I'm an enemy of many
but a friend of very few.
Ay, ay, ay, ay,
ay, ay, ay, ay!
I will be a desperado until the day I die.
A 50'000 dollars
is the bounty on my head.
Many men have tried to find me
but every one of them is dead.
There is money to be stolen,
there are throats that will be cut
and wherever I'm travelling
there are tears and there is blood.

Canción del Mariachi
César Rosas
Soy un hombre muy honrado,
que me gusta lo mejor,
a mujeres no me falta,
ni el dinero, ni el amor.
En mi caballo
por la sierra yo me voy,
las estrellas y la luna
ellas me dicen donde voy.
Ref.:
¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
¡Ay, ay mi amor!
¡Ay mi morena,
de mi corazon!
Me gusta cantar el huapango
tocar el acordeón.
Los Torpedoes me acompañan
quando canto my cancion.
Me gusta tomar mis copas,
aguardiente es lo mejor
Tambien el tequila blanco
con su sal le da sabor
Ref.
Me gusta tocar trompeta
y a él acordeón.
Los Torpedoes me acompañan
quando canto my cancion.
Me gusta tomar mis copas,
aguardiente es lo mejor.
Tambien el tequila reposado
con su sal le da sabor.

Folsom prison blues
John R. Cash
I hear the train a-comin', it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
cause I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, time keeps draggin' on
but this train keeps on rollin' on down to San Antone.
When I was just a baby my mama told me: Son,
always be a good boy, don't you ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin' I lay my head and cry.
Well I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
and they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
But I, but I know I had it coming, I know I just can't be free
but those people keep on movin' and that's what tortures me.
Well if they'd free me from this prison,
and that railroad train was mine
I guess I'd move it all a little farther down the line.
Far from Folsom prison, this is where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.

Volver, volver
Fernando Z. Maldonado
Este amor apasionado
anda todo alborotado por volver.
Voy camino a la locura
y aunque todo me tortura, yo sé querer.
Nos dejamos hace tiempo
pero se llegó el momento de perder,
y tú tenias mucha razón
le hago caso al corazón
y me muero por volver.
Y volver, volver, volver
a tus brazos otra vez
llegaré hasta donde estés
yo sé perder, yo sé perder
quiero volver, volver, volver.
