La Tracalera - Selena

«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

Ral in the other.

but I think you can get the general idea!

Payments who moves from place to place looking for work.

I left corpus because I didnt pay the rent

In san antonio I found myself with another bill

Over there in the valley the guys from the car

(company) were looking for me They were seeing red because they never found me At midnight I started out for laredo

But even there I couldnt find a hideout

In austin I found out that my parents were

Looking for me It had been some time that I didnt

Even send them five bucks

That is why they now call me tracalera

All over texas, they dont let me rest

Lets see if in houston, I can earn some money

And Ill come to pay them even though it means

I dont sleep

There in dallas I found myself a man

«come out here to waco, Ive got some cash»

But the law was out looking for him

The next day they caught him with contraband

There in victoria the police stopped me For a few (forged) checks and a fine that I owed

I called out to the country (home),

I want to talk to my sister, but

Shes sleeping, and my niece answers the phone

That is why they now call me tracalera

All over texas, they dont let me rest

Lets see if in houston, I can earn some money

And Ill come to pay them even though it means

I dont sleep.
