The Huasteca is mourning
Her huapanguero is dead
Today his falsetto is not heard anymore,
which is the soul of the troubadour
Rogaciano he was called:
Rogaciano, The Huapanguero.
they were Sierra’s songs,
songs of troubadours.
Azucena and Cecilia
cry, cry, inconsolably
Malagueña Salerosa1,
He's gone, their town crier2.
The sugarcane is ready,
the milling begins today...
The mill is mourning
it sighs at every turn.
Through the green coffee plantations
Beyond that pasture...
It is told that in the night
The huapanguero appears
Azucena and Cecilia
cry, cry, inconsolably
Malagueña Salerosa,
He's gone, their town crier
Rogaciano he was called...
