Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Ayudante De Lino by Regulo Caro from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Caminito de la sierra
little path of the mountains
Que bajas curveando cuestas
that you go down curving slopes
Me han bajado de tu tierra
I have been taken from your land
A punta de metralletas
at the point of machine guns
En donde estaba sembrando
where i was planting
La cosecha que más cuesta
The crop that costs the most
El gobierno volar, puede
The government fly, can
Nosotros pues, caminamos
So we walk
Pero si bajan tantito
But if they go down a bit
En el suelo lo esperamos
On the ground we wait for you
Ya cuando estemos parejos
already when we are even
Aquí sí nos la rifamos
Here we do raffle it
No es que fuera malo el hombre
It's not that the man was bad
Ni tampoco su ayudante
Neither did his assistant
Mal consejera es el hambre
bad counselor is hunger
Hay que tenerlo presente
You have to keep it in mind
Se olvidan buenas costumbres
Good manners are forgotten
Con gobiernos prepotentes
With arrogant governments
El mar es un buche de agua
The sea is a mouthful of water
Si te andas rifando el cuero
If you are raffling the leather
Por eso bajo a los ranchos
That's why I go down to the ranches
A pasearme con dinero
to walk with money
Con música y con mujeres
With music and with women
Para olvidar este infierno
to forget this hell
Y buscando un mejor rango
And looking for a better range
Lo mismo que en los partidos
Same as in matches
Allá se ganan gritando
There they win by shouting
Aquí se ganan con tiros
Here they win with shots
Por eso buscando plata
That's why looking for money
Me vine a sembrar con Lino
I came to sow with flax
Ay les dejo este corrido
Oh I leave you this corrido
Amigos, allá en Caborca
Friends, there in Caborca
Por mi amigo a Dios le pido
For my friend, I ask God
Que el aprieta, más no ahorca
That he squeezes, but he does not hang
Que rieguen bien esas milpas
Let those milpas water well
Pa' que crezcan las mazorcas
For the ears to grow
