about

This song comes from los Blue Ventures de Louis Sanchez, a multi-generational group based in Española, New Mexico, who are masters of the ranchera tradition in the style known as New Mexico Spanish music. New Mexico Spanish emerged in the 1950s as a highly popular regional music parallel to the Mexican onda grupera movement, based on early rock instrumentation. Old songs are performed in this context as are new compositions, like this one written by bassist Harold Sanchez.

lyrics

Ahora me encuentro paseando y mirando las bonitas montañas.
Voy al rumbo del Norte a visitar a mis abuelos.
En una casa de adobe con un portal de orilla a orilla,
Y se me hace que ya los miro sentaditos debajo de ese portal.
Y no más en cuanto llego casi siempre me dicen así:
Llega, llega hijito. Pásale pa’ dentro y danos un abrazo.
¿Cómo has estado m'hijito? Ojalá que mucho muy bien.

I’m taking a drive through the beautiful mountains,
Headed up North to visit my grandparents
In an old adobe house with a portal from one side to the other.
And I can almost see them now sitting in the shade of that portal,
And as soon as I arrive they’ll say what they always say:
Come on in, hijito, and give us a hug.
How have you been, m’hijito? I hope really well.
