Verse 1
'Ni para la machaca sirve', burlesco gritó un amigo
'Not even for the machaca it works', a burlesque friend shouted
Aunque tenía buena sangre no quisieron al potrillo
Although he had good blood, they did not love the foal
Y querían sacrificarlo porque mal había nacido
And they wanted to sacrifice him because he was born wrong
'Barquillero' le pusieron, que de Generoso es hijo
They called him 'Waffle iron', that Generoso is son
Dijeron no habría manera de sacarle buen provecho
They said there would be no way to take advantage of it
Y casi lo regalaron como animal de deshecho
And they almost gave it away as a waste animal
Lo bonito que tenía lo traía dentro del pecho
How beautiful he had was inside his chest
Subestimaron al potro, que salió un cabrón bien hecho
They underestimated the colt, who came out a well done bastard
Chorus 1
La banda tocaba recio, eran las fiestas del pueblo
The band played hard, it was the town festivals
El cuaco estando caliente se tiró a matar pa'l ruedo
The cuaco being hot, he threw himself to kill for the wheel
Nomás lo vieron bailar, se picaron los rancheros
They just saw him dance, the ranchers got stung
Tragan cuacos de juguete al lado del barquillero
They swallow toy quacks next to the waffle iron
¡Ajai!
Ajai!
Y puro Calibre 50, viejón
And pure Caliber 50, old man
Verse 2
También el que caza es presa, y hasta el sabio se equivoca
Also he who hunts is prey, and even the wise man is wrong
Si te toca, aunque te quites, si no toca, aunque te pongas
If it touches you, even if you take off, if it does not touch, even if you put
No es bueno hablar si no sabes, miren cómo son las cosas
It's not good to talk if you don't know, look how things are
Barquillero a dos, tres gentes vino y les tapo la boca
Waffle maker for two, three people came and covered their mouths
De no servir para nada, a ser el más codiciado
From being of no use to being the most coveted
Cinco potrillitos finos, de esos que nacen bailando
Five fine foals, the kind that are born dancing
Unas paquitas de a dólar y algo de ganado sardo
A few dollar packs and some Sardinian cattle
Dieron por el barquillero pues lo bueno sale caro
They gave for the waffle iron because good things are expensive
Chorus 2
A los que no lo quisieron, bien les sirvió de experiencia
For those who did not want it, it served them well as experience
Y el que un día no valía nada ahora ya no está a la venta
And the one that was worth nothing one day is now no longer for sale
En un rancho de Jalisco, un arrendador comenta
On a ranch in Jalisco, a landlord comments
Casi no traen semental en la yeguada el 50
They hardly bring stallion in the stud farm on 50
