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