"The Tracalera"*

Please remember! This translation is my 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 think you can get the general idea!

*tracalera in can mean someone delinquent in
payments who moves place to place looking for work.
I Corpus because I didn't pay the rent
In San Antonio I found with another bill
Over there in the valley the guys the car
(company) looking for me
They were seeing red because never found me

At midnight I started out for
But even there I couldn't a hideout
In Austin I found out that my parents
for me
It had been time that I didn't
even send them five

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

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

There in the police stopped me
for a few (forged) checks and a that I owed
I called out to the (home),
I to talk to my sister, but
sleeping, and my niece answers the phone

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