Linda Ronstadt
La Charreada (English translation)

Spanish
English
La Charreada
The Charreada*
Ay, qué rechula es la fiesta
La fiesta charra, fiesta del sol

Don de los charros valientes
Dan cos sus cantos la evocaión

El jaripeo y su festejo
Que huele a surco y a tradición

Remedo de la faena
Más admirada de mi nación

Bonito es el jaripeo
Y cuánto su animación
Yo quiero montarle a un toro
Pa' que me mire mi amor

Upale y upa liu
upale y upa liu
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


*A charreada is a rodeo

I am not very familiar with the Latino culture or the sense of excitement proceeding a bullfight.I saw l Ronstadt perform this song during the grammys many years ago. It was/is so well done I teared up and got goosebumps and began to listen mariachi and ranchero music more often. It's a fantastic genre, one I'm thankful she introduced me to
