Chavela Vargas "Corrido de Cananea" lyrics

Translation to:en

Corrido de Cananea

Voy a dar un pormenor de lo que a mí me ha pasado,(2x)Que me han agarrado preso, siendo un gallo tan jugado.(2x)

Me fui para la Agua Prieta a ver si me conocían (2x)Y a las once de la noche me agarro la policía. (2x)

Me agarraron los chérifes al el estilo Americano(2x)Por ser hombre de delito, todos con pistola en mano.(2x)

La cárcel de Cananea está situada en una mesa (2x)Donde yo fui procesado a causa de mi torpeza.(2x)

Despedida no les doy porque no la traigo aquí (2x)Se la deje al Santo Niño y al Señor de Mapimí .(2x)

Ballad of Cananea

I'm going to give an account of what has happened to me, (2X)That they've got me prisoner, being I'm such a cocky tough guy1. (2x)

I went to Agua Prieta to see if they recognized me(2X)And at eleven at night the police caught me.(2X)

The police grabbed me American style (2X)For being a man of crime, all (of them) with a gun in hand.(2X)

The prison of Cananea2 is situated on a plateau(2X)Where I was prosecuted because of my blunder. (2X)

I don't give them a farewell because I don't bring it here. (2X)I left it to the Holy Child and the Lord of Mapimi.(2X)
