Selena - La Tracalera Lyrics
"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 perfectlyRal in the other. but i think you can get the general idea!--------------------------------------------------------*tracalera in mexico can mean someone delinquent inPayments who moves from place to place looking for work.I left corpus because i didn't pay the rentIn san antonio i found myself with another billOver there in the valley the guys from the car(company) were looking for meThey were seeing red because they never found meAt midnight i started out for laredoBut even there i couldn't find a hideoutIn austin i found out that my parents wereLooking for meIt had been some time that i didn'tEven send them five bucksThat is why they now call me tracaleraAll over texas, they don't let me restLet's see if in houston, i can earn some moneyAnd i'll come to pay them even though it meansI don't sleepThere in dallas i found myself a man"come out here to waco, i've got some cash"But the law was out looking for himThe next day they caught him with contrabandThere in victoria the police stopped meFor a few (forged) checks and a fine that i owedI called out to the country (home),I want to talk to my sister, butShe's sleeping, and my niece answers the phoneThat is why they now call me tracaleraAll over texas, they don't let me restLet's see if in houston, i can earn some moneyAnd i'll come to pay them even though it meansI don't sleep.
