Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rogaciano El Huapanguero (Rogiciano) by Linda Ronstadt from Spanish to English.
La huasteca esta de luto
The Huasteca is in mourning
Se murió su huapanguero
Its huapanguero died
Ya no se oye aquel falsete
That falsetto is no longer heard
Que es el alma del trovero
That is the soul of the troubadour
Rogaciano se llamaba
He was named Rogaciano
Rogaciano el huapanguero
Rogaciano the huapanguero
Y eran sones de la sierra
And they were mountain sones
Las canciones del trovero
The songs of the troubadour
La Azucena y la Cecilia
Azucena and Cecilia
Lloran, lloran sin consuelo
They cry, they cry inconsolably
Malagueña Salerosa
Graceful Malagueña
Ya se fue su pregonero
Her herald has already left
El cañal esta en su punto
The cane field is at its peak
Hoy comienza la molienda
Today the milling begins
El trapiche está de duelo
The sugar mill is in mourning
Y suspira en cada vuelta
And it sighs with every turn
Por los verdes cafetales
Through the green coffee groves
Más allá de aquel potrero
Beyond that pasture
Hay quien dice que de noche
Some say that at night
Se aparece el huapanguero
The huapanguero appears
La Azucena y la Cecilia
Azucena and Cecilia
Lloran, lloran sin consuelo
They cry, they cry inconsolably
Malagueña Salerosa
Graceful Malagueña
Ya se fue su pregonero
Her herald has already left
