Juan Colorado

They call me Juan ColoradoJuan Colorado me llaman
I am a man from MichoacánSoy senores de Michoacán
And even the most daringY hasta los mas salidores
When they see me, they go paleAl mirarme mustios se van

I carry on my horse a saddleTraigo en mi cuaco una silla
Made of leather, silver, and ivoryQue es de cuero plata y marfil
And two guns on my beltY dos pistolas al cinto
For those who don't enter the foldPara aquel que no entre al redil

Long live my land Michoacán!Que viva mi tierra Michoacán!
And give me Charanda to toastY denme Charanda pa' brindar
Because Juan Colorado is hereQue Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Riding his horse the HurricaneMontando en su cuaco el Huracán

Long live my land Michoacán!Que viva mi tierra Michoacán!
And give me Charanda to toastY denme Charanda pa' brindar
Because Juan Colorado is hereQue Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Riding his horse the HurricaneMontando en su cuaco el Huracán

Always seeking adventuresSiempre buscando aventuras
On my horse, I cross swiftlyEn mi cuaco cruzo veloz
And in every town I pass throughY en cada pueblo que paso
I always leave a love aliveDejo siempre vivo un amor

When I meet a brave oneCuando me encuentro a un valiente
Who wants to fight me face to faceQue de frente quiera pelear
With my gun or macheteCon mi pistola o machete
I will surely win my luckPor mi suerte yo he de ganar

Long live my land MichoacánQue viva mi tierra Michoacán
And give me Charanda to toastY denme Charanda pa' brindar
Because Juan Colorado is hereQue Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Riding his horse the HurricaneMontando en su cuaco el Huracán

Long live my land MichoacánQue viva mi tierra Michoacán
And give me Charanda to toastY denme Charanda pa' brindar
Because Juan Colorado is hereQue Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Riding his horse the HurricaneMontando en su cuaco el Huracán

Through the mountains and valleysPor las montanas y valles
I go eagerly with blind zealVoy deseoso con ciego afan
Through those flowery valleysPor esos valles floridos
Of my land, which is MichoacánDe mi tierra que es Michoacán

Juan Colorado is leavingYa se va Juan Colorado
He already came here to greetYa los vino aqui a saludar
And whoever seeks me will find meY el que me busque me encuentra
In the direction of ApatzinganPor el rumbo de Apatzingan

Long live my land MichoacánQue viva mi tierra Michoacán
And give me Charanda to toastY denme Charanda pa' brindar
Because Juan Colorado is hereQue Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Riding his horse the HurricaneMontando en su cuaco el Huracán

And give me Charanda to toastY denme Charanda pa' brindar
Because Juan Colorado is hereQue Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Riding his horse the HurricaneMontando en su cuaco el Huracán
