"Don't Cry Now"

"Don't Cry Now"


If you've ever been taken for money
If you've ever gone down with your pride
If you've ever stood up for a good friend and lost
You know that the river is wide

Like a painter who waits for the sunrise
With a picture in both of his hands
It's like part of your life is already begun
With something that you don't understand

But don't cry now
Oh don't cry now
Don't cry now
No don't cry now

When you're lying alone in the night time
And your loneliness turns into fear
With the words of your memory failing and falling
You're drowning in a river of tears

But don't cry now
Ooh don't cry now

If you've ever thought much about freedom
You might find yourself caught in some door
With somebody you love more than (incomprehensible to my ears)
And you've been weeping but you don't know what for

But don't cry now
Oh don't cry now
Don't cry now
Ooh don't cry now
Don't cry now
Woah don't cry now

"Don't Know Much"

"Don't Know Much"


Look at this face
I know the years are showing
Look at this life
I still don't know where it's going

I don't know much
But I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know

Look at these eyes
They've never seen what mattered
Look at these dreams
So beat and so battered

I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

So many questions still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through

And when I feel you near me
Sometimes I see so clearly
The only truth I've ever known is me and you

Look at this man
So blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul
Still searching for salvation

I don't know much
But I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know

I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all there is to know

"Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)"

"Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)"


I can hear so much in your sighs
And I can see so much in your eyes
There are words we both could say

Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and let me hear your heart beat

Being here with you feels so right
We could live forever tonight
Let's not think about tomorrow

And don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Come close, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, take my hand and listen to my heart beat
Listen
Listen
Listen

Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still
Don't talk, put your head on my shoulder
Don't talk, close your eyes and be still

"Dos Arbolitos"

"Dos Arbolitos"


Han nacido en mi rancho dos arbolitos,
Dos arbolitos que paracen gemelos,
Y desde mi casita los veo solitos
Bajo el amparo santo y la luz del cielo.

Nunca estan separados uno del otro
Porque asi quiso Dios que los dos nacieran,
Y con sus mismas ramas se hacen caricias
Como si fueran novios que se quisieran.

Arbolito, arbolito, bajo tu sombra
Voy a esparar que el dia cansado muera,
Y cuando estoy solito mirando al cielo
Pido pa' que me mande una companera.

Arbolito, arbolito, me siento solo
Quiero que me acompanes hasta que muera.

"Down So Low"

"Down So Low"


When you went away I cried
Cried for so long
And I wanted you to stay
Ah but that was all wrong

The pain you left behind
Has become part of me
And it's burned out a hole
Where my love used to be

But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place

Well you know I love you
But that wasn't enough
We both fell apart
When things got too tough
And I've learned how to give now
But what good
But what good would that do
No one can touch me
The way you used to do

And it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place

Well I know your opinion
Of me is not good
Please try to understand
That I'd change
Well I'd change if I could
And this coldness inside me
Well it's starting to build
And a woman can't be a woman
Unless she's fulfilled

But it's not losing you
That's got me down so low
I just can't find another man
To take your place
There's no one can

"Dreams Of The San Joaquin"

"Dreams Of The San Joaquin"


I'm sending you some money
I wish it could be more
But it's harder than I thought
To find the work I came here for

This place is just as pretty
As I pictured it to be
But a man in need of work's
An all too common sight to see

Each morning as the trucks roll in
A lucky few climb on
And the rest of us are left to wonder
Where the dream has gone
Where the dream has gone

They say the Sierra melts with the rain
To race through the valley like blood through the vein
Turning the lowland from golden to green
To harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin

Every day I struggle
With the distance and the fear
That I will not return
Or find a way to bring you here

My emptiness grows deeper
I feel my spirit fall
As night comes like a blanket
It brings no sleep at all

I only hope that time will find
A way to work things out
We will be together
In the life we dream about
Life we dream about

They say the Sierra melts with the rain
To race through the valley like blood through the vein
Turning the lowland from golden to green
To harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin
We'll harvest forever the dreams of the San Joaquin

"Easy For You To Say"

"Easy For You To Say"


I heard some talk around this town
Talk about you and me
How a fool fell out of love with you
Wanted to be free

Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
That I've thrown our love away
And left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say

I read your letter again
I'm sure you know the one
"Goodbye," you said like a coward
"It'll be better in the long run"

Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
That I've thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say

Go back to her again
Back to the way you were
She's a damn sight better for you
You're a damn sight better for her

Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
When you've thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say

"El Camino"
(feat. Mike Ronstadt, Pete Ronstadt)



Por el quebrado camino
Que va a la sierra huasteca
Se oye cantar un jinete
Que monta una yegua prieta

Al acompasado trote
De la jaca tan inquieta
Brota el agudo falsete
Con que el jinete se alegra
Ay la la la

De lejos vengo yo a verte
a conseguir lo que quiero
Aunque la vida me cueste

Asi el polvo en el camino
Envuelve jinete y yegua
Hasta que los dos se pierden
Entre tupida arboleda

Despues ya solo se escucha
Por la lejana vereda
El falsete del huasteco
Que al cantar
Asi se expresa
Ay la la la...

[The Road]

Along the broken road
That runs along the huasteca range
A horseman is heard singing
Mounted on a dark mare

Accompanied by the trot
Of his restless mount
Breaking into high falsetto
The rider joyfully sings

I've come from far away to see you
To get what I long for
Even if it will cost my life

Like that the dust in the road
Surrounds horse and rider
Until they both disappear
In the thick forest

Later, all that is heard
Is the huasteco's falsetto
Ringing back from the distant trail

"El Crucifijo De Piedra"

"El Crucifijo De Piedra"


Cuando lo estaba queriendo
Cuando lo estaba sintiendo
Todito mio lo vi partir
Me juro que regresaba
Pero todo era mentira
Porque ya su alma no era de mi
En la noche silenciosa
Nos miramos
Frente a frente, sin hablar
Cuando me dijo de pronto
Que olvidira su carino
Que no me queria enganar
Fue bajo del crucifijo
De la torre de una iglesia
Cuando la luna nos albumbro
Yo lo estreche entre mis brazos
Con ganas de detenerio
Pero el orgullo me lo impidio
Ya sola frente a la iglesia
Y llorando
Ante el Cristo... fui a implorar
Al contemplar mi tristeza
El crucifijo de piedra
Tambien se puso a llorar

[The Crucifix Of Stone]

When I was loving him
When I was feeling he was all mine
I saw him leave
He swore he would return to me
But it was all a lie
Because his soul was not mine
In the silence of the night
We looked at each other
Face to face
Without speaking
When suddenly he told me to forget his affection
Because he didn't want to deceive me
It was under the crucifix of the church tower
I reached out my arms to stop him
But pride got in my way
There alone
In front of the church
Crying
Before Christ... I began to plead
When contemplating my sadness
The crucifix of stone
Was also crying

"El Gustito"

"El Gustito"


Cantando el gustito estaba
Cuando me quede dormido
Cuando me quede dormido
Cantando el gustito estaba
Ay la la la...

Mi mama me depertaba
Yo me hacia el desentendido
Para ver si me dejaba
Otro ratito contigo
Ay la la la...

Dicen que el hombre casado
A bailes no va a gozar
A bailes no va a gozar
Dicen que el hombre casado
Ay la la la...

Pero se hand euivocado
Porque el tambien sabe amar
Porque el tambien sabe amar
No mas que es mas reservado

[Delight]

To my delight I was singing
When suddenly I fell asleep
To my delight I was singing

My mother tried to wake me up
I pretended not to hear
To see if she let me stay
Dreaming of you a little longer

It is sad that a married man
Doesn't enjoy going dancing
But it isn't true
Because he can still love
But he is more discreet
