"The Tracalera"*

Please remember! This translation is my personal work. It is sometimes difficult to translate word for word from Spanish to English, so it may sound awkward in one languange when it is perfectly natural in the other. But I you can get the general idea!

*tracalera in Mexico can mean delinquent in
payments who from place to place looking for work.
I left Corpus because I didn't pay the
In San Antonio I found myself with another
there in the valley the guys from the car
(company) looking for me
They were red because they never found me

At midnight I started out for
But even there I find a hideout
In I found out that my parents were
for me
It had been some that I didn't
even send five bucks

is why they now call me Tracalera
All over Texas, they let me rest
Let's see if in Houston, I can some money
And I'll come to pay even though it means
I don't

in Dallas I found myself a man
"Come out here to Waco, I've got cash"
But the law was out for him
The next day they him with contraband

There in Victoria the police me
for a few (forged) checks and a fine I owed
I out to the country (home),
I want to to my sister, but
sleeping, and my niece answers the phone

That is why they now me Tracalera
All over Texas, don't let me rest
see if in Houston, I can earn some money
And I'll come to pay them even though it
I sleep.
