El Niño Traviezo
Julio Chaidez
The Mischievous Boy
As a child, he didn't go to school
Because it was far away
His grandfather taught him to read
How he remembers his elders
What a beauty there in the palm
Since he was a mischievous child
His childhood was of a rancher
He proudly boasts of that
Buying dairy goats
That's how his business started
Look how things turn out
Now he's a powerful man
I won't talk about the past
I'll talk about the present
Today he's an important man
His people appreciate him greatly
In the ranch there in the palm
The old man smiles upon seeing him
With a northern band
He will always be welcomed
With a band playing
His songs and ballads
Let the drum resound
Let his friends enjoy
I won't tell you his name
It's unnecessary to mention
He's a very humble person
And very simple to deal with
Friends, be careful
Don't betray him
I bid you farewell with this
And I won't be long to return
So the young ones can sing
Baltazar slipped away from them
The corrido of the Sanchez
He also enjoys listening to
