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
