I feel so bad
I've got a worried mind I'm so lonesome all the time Since I left my baby behind On Blue Bayou Saving nickels, saving dimes Workin' till the sun don't shine Lookin' forward to happier times On Blue Bayou I'm goin' back some day Come what may To Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine And the world is mine On Blue Bayou All those fishing boats With their sails afloat If I could only see That familiar sunrise Through sleepy eyes How happy I'd be Gonna see my baby again Gonna be with some of my friends Maybe I'll feel better again On Blue Bayou Saving nickels, saving dimes Workin' till the sun don't shine Lookin' forward to happier times On Blue Bayou I'm going back some day Come what may To Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine and the world is mine On Blue Bayou All those fishing boats With their sails afloat If I could only see That familiar sunrise Through sleepy eyes How happy I'd be Oh, that boy of mine By my side The silver moon and the evening tide Oh, some sweet day Gonna take away this hurtin' inside Well, I'll never be blue, My dreams come true On Blue Bayou |

He tells her he doesn't understand She takes his hand And tells him nothing's working out the way she planned She's so many women He can't find the one who was his friend He's hanging on to half a heart But he can't have the restless part So he tells her to hasten down the wind Now he agrees he thinks she ought to be free Now she says she'd rather be with him Oh it's just a whim That she's designed to keep him out there on that limb She's so many women He can't find the one who was his friend He hanging on to half a heart But he can't have the restless part So he tells her to hasten down the wind He tells her to hasten down the wind He tells her to hasten down the wind |

Faithless love
Like a river flows Where did I go wrong? Like a river flows Like rain drops falling Too many stories, too Like rain drops falling On a broken rose Many heart break songs On a broken rose Down in some valley Where nobody's right Down in some valley Where nobody goes Nobody was wrong? Where nobody goes Where the night blows In faithless love will find you Faithless love has found me Like a cold dark wind And the misery entwine you Thrown its chilly arms around me Faithless love Faithless love Faithless love Like a river flows Where did I go wrong? Faithless love Well, I guess I'm standing In the hall of broken dreams That's the way it sometimes goes Every new love never turns out like it seems I guess the feeling comes and goes Faithless love Like a river flows |

Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet I can't help it if I'm still in love with you Somebody else stood by your side And she looked so satisfied I can't help it if I'm still in love with you A picture from the past came slowly stealing As I brushed your arm and stood so close to you Suddenly I got that old time feeling I can't help it if I'm still in love with you It's hard to know another's lips have kissed you And held you just the way I used to do Heaven only knows how much I've missed you I can't help it if I'm still in love with you I can't help it if I'm still in love with you |

Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round I squandered emotions On the slightest of notions And the first easy loving I found But soon all the good times The gay times and play times Like colors run together and fade Oh Lord if you hear me Touch me and hold me And keep me from blowing away There's times when I trembled When my mind remembered The days that just crumbled away With nothing to show But these lines that I know Are beginning to show in my face Oh Lord if you're listening I know I'm no Christian And I ain't got much coming to me So send down some sunshine Throw out your lifeline And keep me from blowing away Oh Lord if you hear me Touch me and hold me And keep me from blowing away |

ⓒ 1962, 1979 Glad Music Company (BMI) Just when the sun shines the brightest And the world looks alright again Then the clouds fill the skies You can't believe your eyes Sometimes you just can't win Well my love never meant much to you dear For to you I was always a friend Oh why did I fall You have no heart at all Sometimes you just can't win No I can't live like this any longer Not knowing just where I stand Oh darling you don't care And sweetheart it don't seem fair Sometimes you just can't win Oh sometimes you just can't win |

Golden sails across the sky Close enough to touch But careful if you try Though she looks as warm as gold The moon's a harsh mistress The moon can be so cold Once the sun did shine And lord it felt so fine The moon a phantom rose Through the mountains and the pine And then the darkness fell The moon's a harsh mistress It's hard to love her well I fell out of her eyes I fell out of her heart I fell down on my face, yes I did And I tripped and I missed my star And I fell and fell alone The moon's a harsh mistress The sky is made of stone The moon's a harsh mistress She's hard to call your own |

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet He's the big affair I cannot forget Only man I ever think of with regret I'd like to add his initial to my monogram Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb There's a somebody I'm longing to see I hope that he turns out to be Someone who'll watch over me I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood I know I could always be good To one who'll watch over me Although he may not be the man Some girls think of as handsome To my heart he carries the key Won't you tell him please to put on some speed Follow my lead Oh how I need Someone to watch over me Someone to watch over me |

I've been romanced Down and danced Crazy nights Wild times My life has lost it's mystery Love is blind And I cannot find me I'm blowing away Shadows take my love and leave I'm blowing away Shadows keep taking my love And leaving me And I cast aside My foolish pride And I am going down for the last time And I searched this earth And I sailed this sea Love is blind and I cannot find me I'm blowing away Shadows take my love and leave I'm blowing away Shadows keep taking my love And leaving me You keep taking my love and leaving me - |

Al golpe del remo se agitan las olas
Ligera la barca Al ruido del agua se ahonda mi pena Solloza mi alma. Por tantos pesares, mi amor angustiado Llorando te llama Y te hallas muy lejos... y sola, muy sola Se encuentra mi alma. Alegre viajero que tornas al puerto De tierras lejanas Que extrano piloto condujo tu barca Sin vela y sin ancla De que region vienes, que has hecho pedazos Tus velas tan blancas. Y fuiste cantando Y vuelves trayendo, la muerte en el alma Yo soy el marino Que alegre de Guaymas, salio una manana Llevando en mi barca como ave piloto Mi dulce esperanza. Por mares ignotos Mis santos anhelos hundio en la borrasca Por eso estan rotas mis alas Y traigo la muerte en el alma. Te fuiste cantando Y hoy vuelves trayendo La muerte en el alma. |

Ay... que rechula es la fiesta La fiesta charra, fiesta del sol. Don... de los charros valientes Dan cos sus cantos la evocaion. El... jaripeo y su festejo Que huele a surco y a tradicion Remedo de la faena Mas admirada de mi nacion Bonito es el jaripeo Y cuanto su animacion Yo quiero montarle a un toro Pa' que me mire mi amor. Upale y upa liu upale y upa liu A charreada is similar to a rodeo but has slightly different events more par- ticular to the style of the Charro, or gentleman cowboy. It is very colorful because the men always compete wearing their elegant Charro suits, the basis of the mariachi costume. The grand entry (el jaripeo) features the ladies riding their beautiful horses sidesaddle. It also includes the singing of the tra- ditional rancheras that I love so much. My sister Suzi used to say that the real test of a good singer was if he or she could support a tone on horseback, as she heard the singers do in the charreada. She even learned to ride her horse sidesaddle. If I can get her to teach me how to do it, maybe I'll be able to sing sidesaddle in a charreada one day - a cherished dream of mine. L.R. The Charreada How very pretty is this fiesta The charro fiesta, fiesta in the sun Where the valiant charros Evoke such feeling with their songs The festive grand entry Smacks of tradition and the furrows of the earth It resembles the action of the bullfight So admired in my nation Pretty is the grand entry and how great its excitement I want to ride the bull So that my love can see me. upale y upa liu ⓒ 1951 Promotora Hispana de Mexico S.A.

Ya no me cantes cigarra Que acabe tu sonsonete Que tu canto aqui en el alma Como un punal se me mete Sabiendo que cuando cantas Pregonado vas tu muerte. Marinero marinero Dime si es verdad que sabas Porque distinguir no puedo Si en el fondo de los mares Hay otro color mas negro Que el color de mis pesares. Un palomito al volar Que llevaba el pecho herido Ya casi para llorar Me dijo muy afligido. Ya me canso de buscar Un amor correspondido. Bajo la sombra de un arbol Y al compas de mi guitarra Canto alegre este huapango Porque la vida se acaba Y quiero morir cantando Como muere la cigarra. This huapango was written by Ray Perez y Soto. It was recorded in the 1940's by Jorge Negrete when he sang with the Trio Calaveras, and more recently by Lola Beltran, who is, in my opinion, the greatest voice to ever come out of Mexico. The image of the wounded dove in the third verse is a popular symbol; it is a messenger of afflicted love. L.R. The Cicada Don't sing to me anymore, cicada Let your singsong end For your song, here in the soul Stabs me like a dagger Knowing that when you sing You are proclaiming that you are going to your death Sailor, sailor Tell me if it is true that you know Because I cannot distinguish If in the depth of the seas There is another color blacker Than the color of my sorrows. A little dove upon flying Bearing a wounded breast Was about to cry And told me very afflicted I'm tired of searching for A mutual love. Under the shade of a tree And to the beat of my guitar I sing this "huapango" happily Because my life is ending And I want to die singing Like the cicada dies. ⓒ 1958 Promotura Hispana Americana de Musica S.A.

written by Valeriano Trejo
La huasteca esta de luto Se murio su huapanguero. Ya no se oye aquel falsete Que es el alma del trovero. Rogaciano se llamaba Rogaciano el huapanguero Y eran sones de la sierra Las canciones del trovero. La Azucena y la Cecilia Lloran, lloran sin consuelo Malaguena Salerosa Ya se fue su pregonero. El canal esta en su punto Hoy comienza la molienda El trapiche esta de duelo Y suspira en cada vuelta. Por los verdes cafetales Mas alla de aquel potrero Hay quien dice que de noche Se aparece el huapanguero. La Azucena y la Cecilia Lloran, lloran sin consuelo Malaguena Salerosa Ya se fue su huapanguero. This moody, beautifully haunting huapango was written by Valeriano Trejo, who, according to Ruben Fuentes, is a school teacher. Fuentes recorded it in the 1950's with Miguel Aceves Mejia, another hero of mine. It is one of the songs my brothers and I used to try to harmonize when we were growing up, so I asked them to sing it with me on the record. After knowing it for so long, we've finally learned all the words! It is a tale of the huasteca, a region north of Vera Cruz, Mexico, where the sones huastecos (usually called huapangos) are sung. (See notes on La Calandria for definition of sones.) A huapanguero is a singer of huapangos. The style is characterized by falsetto breaks in the singing. L.R. Rogaciano La huasteca* is in mourning Its huapanguero has died You can no longer hear that falsetto Which is the soul of the troubadour. Rogaciano he was called Rogaciano the huapanguero* And they were sones of the sierra mountains The songs of the troubadours. Azucena and Cecilia Are crying, crying inconsolably Malaguena Salerosa* Their bard has gone. The cane is ready Today begins the milling The sugar mill is in mourning And sighs with each turn. In the green coffee plantations Far beyond that pasture There are those who say that in the nighttime The huapanguero appears. Azucena and Cecilia Are crying, crying inconsolably Malaguena Salerosa* Their bard has left. *huasteca: a region huapanguero: a singer of huapangos ⓒ 1955 Promotora Hispana Americana de Musica S.A.

Miro como ando mujer Por tu querer Borracho y apasionado No mas por tu amor. Mira como ando mi bien Muy dado a la borrachera Y a la perdicion. Tu solo tu Has llenado de luto mi vida Abriendo una herida en mi corazon Tu... tu solo tu Eres causa de todo mi llanto De mi descanto y desesperacion. Solo tu sombra fatal Sombra de mal Me sigue por dondequiera Con ostinacion Y por quererte olvidar Me tiro a la borrachera Y a la perdicion. |

Que diran los de tu casa Cuando mi miran tomando, Pensaran que por tu causa Yo me vivo emborrachando, Y andale... Pero si vieras Como son lindas estas borracheras Y andale... (Coro) Pero hasta cuando Dejan tus padres de andarte cuidando Y andale... Cada vez que vengo a verte Siempre me voy resbalando; O es que tengo mala suerte O es que me esta lloviznando Y andale... Pero si vieras Seco mi chaco en mi higuera floreando Y andale... (Coro) Pero si cuando Seco mi chaco en mi higuera floreando Y andale... Me dices que soy un necio Porque me ando emborrachando, Y a pesar de tus deprecios, Yo quiero seguir tomando, y andale Pero si vieras Como son lindas estas borracheras... Y andale... (Coro) Pero que bellas Paso las horas vaciando botellas Y andale. I am a renowned teetotaler, but I love this drinking song. The use of the word chaco is unusual (it has been defined as organ meat of hunted fowl) and the exact meaning of the refrain it appears in probably has a double connotation. I have opted to sing it here with my niece, Mindy, who at 17 brings a lovely innocence to this tale of gleeful debauchery. L.R. Get On With It What will they say those in your house When they see me drinking, Will they think that it's on account of you That I live my life drinking Get on with it. But if you could see How pretty these binges are Get on with it. (Chorus) But until whenever Your parents stop protecting you Get on with it. Each time that I come to see you I'm always slipping; Is it that I have bad luck Or is it that it's drizzling on me, Get on with it. But if you could see Me dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree grove Get on with it. (Chorus) But if ever I dry my chaco in my flowering fig tree grove, Get on with it. You say that I'm a fool, Because i'm always getting drunk, And in spite of your scorn, I want to keep on drinking, Get on with it. But if you were to see How pretty these binges are, Get on with it. (Chorus) But how beautiful Are the hours I spend emptying bottles, Get on with it. ⓒ 1951 Brandila Musical All rights controlled |

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 Trio Voices- Linda Ronstadt, Mike Ronstadt, Pete Ronstadt |

Donde temprano se oculta el sol Quedo mi ranchito triste y abandonada ya su labor Ahi me pase los anos, Ahi encontre mi primer amor, Y fueron los desenganos, Los que mataron ya mi iluson. Ayy corazon que te vaz para nunca volver, No me digas adioooos, Vueeeeelve alegrar con tu amor, El ranchito que fue de mi vida ilusioon, Malaya los ojos negros, Que me embrujaron con su miraaaaaaar, Si nunca me hubieran visto, No fueran causa de mi penaaaaar Ayyyyy corazon que te vaz para nunca volveeeer, No me digas adios, Vueeeeelve alegrar con tu amor, El ranchito que fue de mi vida ilusion, Aya al pie de la montana Donde temprano se oculta el sol Quedo mi ranchito triste y Abandonadada ya su labor |
