written by Felipe Valdez Leal

Allá al pie de la montaña
Donde temprano se oculta el sol
Quedó mi ranchito triste

Y abandonada ya mi labor

Ahi me pasé los años
Ahi encontré mi primer amor
Y fueron los desengaños
Los que mataron a mi ilusión

Ay... Corazón que te vas
Para nunca volver... No me digas adiós
Vuelve a alegrar con tu amor
El ranchito que fue
De mi vida ilusión

Mal haya los ojos negros
Que me embrujaron con su mirar
Si nunca me hubieran visto
No fueran causa de mi penar

My Little Ranch

Far away
At the foot of the mountain
Where the sun hides early
My sad little ranch is still there
My work abandoned

There, I passed the years
There, I found my first love
There, were the betrayals
The ones that killed my illusions

Oh heart
You left me
Don't tell me goodbye
Come back
To cheer up the little ranch
That was once my whole life's dream

Wicked one
Your black eyes bewitched me with their look
If I'd never seen them
They wouldn't have caused me such pain
