[300aus]

Thank you for posting this. I am of Mexican nationality and even in my country music like this is not valued by our youth. This is an amazing interpretation of the song. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

[JVWOODY]

GOOD JOB!!! :)

[seducedfate]

Great song

[yabelin68]

Cuatro milpas tan solo han quedado/ del ranchito que era mío, ¡ay!/

de aquella casita tan blanca y bonita/ lo triste que está.// Los potreros están sin ganado/ toditito se acabó, ¡ay!/ y ya no hay palomas, ni flores, ni aromas,/

ya todo murió.// Me prestaras tus ojos morena/ en el alma los llevo, que miren allá/ los despojos de aquella casita/ tan blanca y bonita lo triste que está.//

[MueraTelevisa]

Please ignore joeys36 below here, he believes Mexicans have a color on their skin but that is simply ignorance,

I heard this music and I love it, because it's beautiful,

thank you guys...

[joeys36]

why are there white people playin this?

no offense but youd think there would be some mexicans playin mexican music

[callotas]

Why? Music has no nationality, in my opinion.

[DesertShooter1]

This individual has no bad ground in history. The Spanish, the French and the Germans have settled in Mexico and have become Mexican. There are many blond, blue eyed MEXICANS in deep Mexico, but of course, you need to get out into the world to see this. There are Mexicans with Spanish, French and German blood because their parents married into some of the finest people in the world. Arriba Mexico!

[sharingan41]

xD great im from mexico and i like it (generaly, i dont like my folklore music)

and it sounds to like greek music a bit... mybe is why i like it

dude, it sound great.... its just my opinion

Viva Mexico +3+ lose, me estoy quemando al postear aqui pero nimodo

[kurhi23]

Muy bella interpretación, es una lástima que en nuestro México en la actualidad las nuevas generaciones prefieramos escuhar esa basura comercial que nos venden como "musica", cuando estos niños nos demuestran lo bella que es nuestra música vernácula. Felicidades a estos niños que realmente nos están dando una lección, y ojalá alguien lo pueda traducir, para que si ellos llegasen a leer este mensaje, lo puedan entender.

[jpmiracle]

@kurhi23 Translation: beautiful interpretation, it is a shame that in our Mexico the new generations prefer listening to that commercial thrash they sell to us as music, when this kids are showing us how beautiful our vernacular music is. Congratulations to these kids that are really giving us a lesson.

[chaoz4u2]

[noblewulfff]

[kr4ter182]

Bien Hecho felicidades

[ElMuyLoco]

Yo creo que estos güeritos no saven lo que es un coamil o una yunta. Pero si saben tocar las "Cuatro Milpas". Bien echo (well done).

[KBTaylor]

Translation:

I believe these blondies may not know what is a yoke of draft animals but they do know how to play "Cuatro Milpas". Well done!

Gracias.

[ElMuyLoco]

Hi KBTaylor,

Very good translation.

A coamil is usually a corn field that is planted by hand on uneven, hilly or rocky terrain; a yunta is a corn field that is planted with the help of draft animals, usually steers, on flat level terrain.

This song is about lost love and the loss of sustenance, it basically says that everything was lost except for the last four corn stalks left in the field (the cuatro milpas).

[00Jose00]

O_O ... nice!

Brought tears to my eyes :)

[nohdz1]

Fantastico, bravo!!! Well done!! This was so good to hear it really moved me.

[IN06000]

Soooooo moving ! Brings something in the eyes. Yes quatro milpas is most beatiful. But the way these kids play add a pathos.

[theband2]

nice, made me wanna go down to old el passo and shoot gary cooper in a movie, the music and the kids were great.

[yomitontolala]

Mexican music is so beautiful as the country itself.

[yomitontolala]

[legolasegb]

Wow, this is most excellent!

[desotavento]

wonderfull job

[richovr]

Very well played! As mexican and musician myself, it's always reconfortating to watch young musicians learn music trough diversity and hard work. Also, thanks for this lesson of humility.

Bien tocado, como mexicano y músico, siempre es reconfortante el ver que músicos jóvenes aprenden música por medio de la diversidad y el trabajo duro. También, muchas gracias por esta lección de humildad.

[warchild2007]

I like mexican culture. i am from Moldova(central europe). bellissimo! :)

[nitoalfilito]

I feel honoured as a Mexican, to hear a tune being played by my neighbours.

[renesax714]

Arriva los gringos i que se oiga asta mi durango

[alpanendo]

this is the second part: Me prestaras tus ojos morena en el alma los llevo, que miren allá los despojos de aquella casita tan blanca y bonita lo triste que está. Las palmeras lloran por su ausencia, la laguna se secó, ¡ay! la cerca de alambre que estaba en el patio también se cayó. Cuatro milpas que tanto quería pues mi madre las cuidaba, ¡ay! si vieras que solas, ya no hay amapolas, ni yerbas de olor

[alpanendo]

i'm mexican i've listened this song with a mexican artist (Antonio Aguilar) And you did a great work

Esta chidisima la rola, felicidades!!

[KBTaylor]

Do you know the origins of this tune?

[alpanendo]

well, not really, but i have the lyrics. It's about a small place where the autor lived a time ago, and hi's missing a lot of things of this place. here it is: Cuatro milpas Autor:Belisario deJesús García Cuatro milpas tan solo han quedado del ranchito que era mío, ¡ay! de aquella casita tan blanca y bonita lo triste que está. Los potreros están sin ganado toditito se acabó, ¡ay! y ya no hay palomas, ni flores, ni aromas, ya todo murió.

[josejuan61]

the autor born in montemorelos nuevo leon mexico what I know so far is that indeed he composed it to an old house of the region four bloks away from my house in that town there is a small street with his name ;)

[xIIxGustavoxIIx]

wow... gringos keep up the good work! (:

[Rachelspicy]

sounds great! You know what, i really reminds me of my sisters and I 12 years ago when we were kids like you. You guys sound exactly the same! We were playing La llorona.
