El Orgullo de Un Puestero Carlos Ramón Fernandez (English Translation) Lyrics

Nicazio Hernandez, cowboy
Who is in Estancia El Badajo
He who fought from below
To be honest and sincere
Recognized cowboy
For the lasso as if commanded
He has been given news
That has made him think differently
His eldest son El Jacinto
Wants to study to be a lawyer

Wow, what a shock!
Virgin Mary, who would have thought?
He received so much joy
That he fills with emotion
Speaks with his heart
He felt his pride touch
How could I not help him?
Although the career is long
I will carry that burden
But my son will study

Rosaura, his companion
Who listens very attentively to him
Also joins the fight
She surces and weaves outward
Being a good cook
She prepares lunch and snacks
And so that Jacinto understands
That expenses must be taken care of
Today she filled a basket
To send him a package

The years went by
Completing his itinerary
Jacinto university student
He is studying in La Plata
He spent his savings
On pencils, books, forms
Food, boarding, booklet
And the father is going to negotiate
The gear for working
The godmother and the herd

The gear for working
He sold it to the foreman
Who is in Estancia El Palomo
And likes to parade
But he won’t slack off
It is for constant work
While he thinks at every moment
While he beats some leather
What pride for a cowboy
To have a student son

One by one the roasted
Little by little he negotiated
Some he traded
For a bucket and he carried them
The bell is silent
And no longer rings at all
His music is silent
Does not go out to cheer distances
Because he sold to the ranch
The mare for the herd

It remained in the photograph
The roasted ones and the blue tile
And in the photo reflects
What happened in those days
But there is great joy
Because in the ranch they have hung
A diploma that has arrived
Written in large letters
That says Jacinto Hernandez
Received as a lawyer
