El Barzon Lyrics in English Lupillo Rivera
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Barzon by Lupillo Rivera from Spanish to English.
Esas tierras del Rincón
Those lands in Rincón
Las sembré con un buey pando
I sowed them with a swayback ox
Se me reventó el barzón
The barzón snapped on me
Y sigue la yunta andando
And the team keeps on moving
Cuando llegué a media tierra
When I got halfway across
El arado iba enterrado
The plow was buried
Se enterró hasta la telera
It buried up to the crossbar
El timón se iba doblando
The beam was bending
El barzón se iba trozando
The barzón was shredding
El yugo se iba pandeando
The yoke was warping
El sembrador me iba hablando
The sower was talking to me
Yo le dije al sembrador
I told the sower
No me hables, cuando ande arando
Don't talk to me when I'm plowing
Se me reventó el barzón
The barzón snapped on me
Y sigue la yunta andando
And the team keeps on moving
Cuando salí a la otra orilla
When I came out to the other side
La tierra estaba pesada
The ground was heavy
Me decía mi prenda amada
My beloved sweetie told me
Métase para adentrito
Get yourself farther inside
No se vaya usté' a mojar
Don't go get wet
No se vaya usté' a resfriar
Don't go catch a cold
Ni se vaya usté' a morir
Nor go die on me
Para mi mayor sentir
To my deepest sorrow
No me vaya usté' a dejar
Don't you leave me
Con el chiquillo en los brazos
With the little kid in my arms
Pobrecito está llorando
Poor thing is crying
Mírelo que está mamando
Look at him, he's nursing
Se me reventó el barzón
The barzón snapped on me
Y sigue la yunta andando
And the team keeps on moving
Cuando acabé de pizcar
When I finished picking
Vino el rico y lo partió
The rich guy came and split it
Todo mi maíz se llevó
He took all my corn
Ni pa'comer me dejó
He didn't leave me any to eat
Me presenta aquí la cuenta
He hands me the bill here
Aquí debes veinte pesos
Here you owe twenty pesos
De la renta de unos bueyes
For renting some oxen
Cinco pesos de magueyes
Five pesos for magueys
Tres pesos de unas coyundas
Three pesos for some rawhide straps
Cinco pesos de unas tunas
Five pesos for some tunas
Tres pesos de no sé qué
Three pesos for who knows what
Pero todo está en la cuenta
But it's all on the bill
A mas de veinte reales
Plus more than twenty reales
Que sacaste de la tienda
That you took from the store
Con todo el maíz que te toca
With all the corn that is yours
No le pagas a la hacienda
You don't pay the estate
Ahora vete a trabajar
Now go work
Pa' que sigas abonando
So you keep on paying
'Nomas me quede pensando
I just stayed thinking
Haciendo un cigarro de hoja
Rolling a leaf cigarette
Que patrón tan sinvergüenza
What a shameless boss
Todo mi maíz se llevó
He took all my corn
Para su maldita troje!
For his damn granary!
Se me reventó el barzón
The barzón snapped on me
