El Camino

written by Jesus Navarro Por el quebrado camino Que va a la sierra huasteca Se oye cantar un jinete Que monta una yegua prieta Al acompasado trote De la jaca tan inquieta Brota el agudo falsete Con que el jinete se alegra Ay la la la De lejos vengo yo a verte a conseguir lo que quiero Aunque la vida me cueste Asi el polvo en el camino Envuelve jinete y yegua Hasta que los dos se pierden Entre tupida arboleda Despues ya solo se escucha Por la lejana vereda El falsete del huasteco Que al cantar Asi se expresa Ay la la la... The Road Along the broken road That runs along the huasteca range A horseman is heard singing Mounted on a dark mare Accompanied by the trot Of his restless mount Breaking into high falsetto The rider joyfully sings I've come from far away to see you To get what I long for Even if it will cost my life Like that the dust in the road Surrounds horse and rider Until they both disappear In the thick forest Later, all that is heard Is the huasteco's falsetto Ringing back from the distant trail Trio Voices- Linda Ronstadt, Mike Ronstadt, Pete Ronstadt
