Barquillero - Calibre 50

«Ni pa' la machaca sirve», burlesco gritó un amigo

Aunque tenía buena sangre no quisieron al potrillo

Y querían sacrificarlo porque mal había nacido

«Barquillero"le pusieron, que de Generoso es hijo

Dijeron no habría manera de sacarle buen provecho

Y casi lo regalaron como animal de deshecho

Lo bonito que tenía lo traía dentro del pecho

Subestimaron al potro, que salió un cabrón bien hecho

La banda tocaba recio, eran las fiestas del pueblo

El cuaco estando caliente se tiró a matar pa’l ruedo

Nomás lo vieron bailar, se picaron los rancheros

Tragan cuacos de juguete al lado del barquillero

¡Ajai!

Y puro Calibre 50, viejón

También el que caza es presa, y hasta el sabio se equivoca

Si te toca, aunque te quites, si no toca, aunque te pongas

No es bueno hablar si no sabes, miren cómo son las cosas

Barquillero a dos, tres gentes vino y les tapo la boca

De no servir para nada, a ser el más codiciado

Cinco potrillitos finos, de esos que nacen bailando

Unas paquitas de a dólar y algo de ganado sardo

Dieron por el barquillero pues lo bueno sale caro

A los que no lo quisieron, bien les sirvió de experiencia

Y el que un día no valía nada ahora ya no está a la venta

En un rancho de Jalisco, un arrendador comenta

Casi no traen semental en la yeguada el 50

"It doesn't even work for the machaca," burlesquely a friend yelled

Although he had good blood they did not want the colt

And they wanted to sacrifice him because he had been born badly

"Barquillero" they named him, that he is Generoso's son

They said there would be no way to make good use of it

And they almost gave it away as a waste animal

The beauty that he had was inside his chest

They underestimated the colt, who came out a well done bastard

The band played hard, it was the town festival

The cuaco being hot jumped to kill pa'l ring

They just saw him dance, the ranchers got bitten

They swallow toy cuacos next to the waffle maker

Aha!

And pure Caliber 50, old man

He who hunts is also prey, and even the wise make mistakes

If he touches you, even if you take off, if he doesn't touch, even if you put on

It's not good to talk if you don't know, look how things are

Barquillero to two, three people came and covered their mouths

From being useless to being the most coveted

Five fine foals, one of those that are born dancing

A few dollar paquitas and some Sardinian cattle

They gave for the waffle maker because good things are expensive

For those who did not want it, it served them well as an experience

And the one that one day was worth nothing now he is no longer for sale

On a ranch in Jalisco, a landlord comments

They hardly bring a stallion in the stud farm on 50
