Con la fuerte novillada

Ay que trabajos pasamos

En aquella gran llanada

Eran quinientos novillos

Todititos muy livianos
All very light
No los pudimos parar
We couldn't stop them
Entre veinte americanos

En la hacienda del Pirul

Se soltó un toro bragado

En su caballo El Venado

Y cuida'o con esos caballos muchachos

Y que se oiga bonito mi Energía Norteña

Le pregunta al caporal

Que razón me da de mi hijo
