El Charro Viejo

I am the old charro
Who tamed a hundred mares
And the occasional mule

I am the old charro
Who tamed a hundred mares
And the occasional mule

Through the hills of Juliantla
And the plains of Cocula
Through the hills of Juliantla
And the plains of Cocula

I am the old charro
That thundered ten shafts
With the same rope

I am the old charro
That thundered ten shafts
With the same rope

I am a charro on horseback
And not a charrito on foot
I am a charro on horseback
And not a charrito on foot

The old charro is leaving
The old charro is leaving
He's already going to the ranch

The old charro is leaving
The old charro is leaving
He's already going to the ranch

Goodbye, black women who walked
Under my wide hat
Goodbye, dark ones who enjoyed
Under my wide hat
