Ay, compadre

Hey, buddy, hey, buddy,
feeling so lonely now;
my little brunette left me,
who I was taking care of.

Told her to be careful, my buddy.
Told her, don't ever go to the river,
people come from the other shore,
people come from the other side,
they take your little brunette
and you're left hanging.

Watch out, buddy, there are bad people!

Hey, buddy, hey, buddy,
can't find her anywhere.
Looked for her in Alameda,
also in Palomar.

Told her to be careful, my buddy.
Alameda and Palomar were empty.
Look for her on the other shore,
look for her on the other side.
Look for her, buddy, quickly,
otherwise, you'll be left hanging.

Watch out, buddy, there are shady people!

Hey, buddy, hey, buddy,
I'm dying of sorrow;
looked for her in Alameda
and my brunette wasn't there.
