Текст песни Manuel Garcia - yo que soy contrabandista

Yo que soy contrabandista
Y campo por mi respeto,
A todos los desafío,
Pues a nadie tengo miedo.
Ay, ay, ay jaleo, muchachas,
¿ Quién me merca algun hilo negro?**
Mi caballo está cansáo,
Y yo me marcho corriendo.
Ay, ay, ay, ay,
ay, ay que viene la ronda,
Y se movió el tiroteo.
Ay, ay, caballito mío,
caballo mío careto;
Ay jaleo, ay jaleo,
Ay jaleo que nos cogen:
Ay! sácame de este aprieto.
Ay, caballito jaleo.
Ay, caballito jaleo.

I who am a smuggler
and fight for my respect,
defy everyone,
because I'm not afraid of any body. 6
Ay,ay,ay,jaleo, *girls.
Who will buy my black thread?**
My horse is tired
and I flee, running.
Ay, ay, ay, there's a roundup,
Ay, ay, ay, there's a roundup,
and the shooting starts.
Ay, ay, my little horse,
my little pinto;
Ay jaleo, ay jaleo,
Ay jaleo, there catching up with us
Ay! get me out of this mess.
