Boracho Station
Ryan Bingham Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Olas cielo y toca la sierra
Trabajando amigos asi entiendo le pierra
Vaqueros montamos, Caballos borachos
Esperando a siente del sol
Paro en Mexico

Buzzards they circle old crosses on hills
The heart of the desert pound under my heels
I hear tell of Aztec gold, buried in the hills of old Mexico

Olas cielo y toca la sierra
Trabajando amigos asi entiendo le pierra
Vaqueros montamos, Caballos borachos




Esperando a siente del sol
Paro en Mexico

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ryan Bingham's Boracho Station seem to convey the experiences of a cowboy who is working in Mexico. The Spanish phrases in the opening lines translate to "waves in the sky and touch the mountains" and "working friends this is how I understand it." The cowboy is describing his work with his friends, and they are depicted as riding drunken horses while waiting for the sun to set.


The chorus of the song repeats the lines "waves in the sky and touch the mountains" and "working friends this is how I understand it" but adds an interesting element of stopping in Mexico. The cowboy is essentially taking a break from his work and life in general by stopping in the country where he can enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape and the simple pleasures of life. The second verse then introduces the idea of treasure buried in the hills of old Mexico, hinting that there is a mythical or mystical quality to the country that draws people to it beyond the mere beauty of the land.


Overall, the lyrics present a vivid picture of a cowboy's experience in Mexico, evoking a sense of freedom, friendship, and adventure that feels both nostalgic and romantic. The repetition of the Spanish phrases adds an authentic feel, and the combination of English and Spanish language creates a unique and appealing blend.

on Western Shore

"Loud on the Western shore, you're no longer brave"
You used to be scared, but now you are bravely living your life out loud
Think you missed this one
More than once
Significant I think that he ended the song with "you are no longer brave".
Think it was easy for him to have been brave previously because he had nothing to lose as he also points out in What would I've become. He does now and that's changed him
