Juan Martha's Corrido

El Corrido de Juan Martha

They said he carried aDecian que cargaba un
Devil, lies, I didn't bring anythingDiablo, mentiras, no traía nada
What he had on his waist was aLo que traía en su cintura era una
Gun squadPistola escuadra

He robbed and killed peopleRobaba y mataba gente
Because that's how his head had funPorque así se divertía su cabeza
It had a priceTenía precio
It was worth 15 thousand pesos15 mil pesos valía

Juan Martha was braveJuan martha era aguerrido
And feared of the governmentY temido del gobierno
The rural people feared himLos rurales le temían
As if it were poisonComo si fuera veneno

His little mother was cryingSu madrecita lloraba
I cried and told himLloraba y se lo decía
If they had my son freeSi tuvieran libre a mi hijo
15 thousand pesos would give15 mil pesos daría

Don't cry anymore motherYa no llores madrecita
Don't offer them anything anymoreYa no les ofrezcas nada
That little hill arrivingQue llegando aquel cerrito
I laugh at the ropesYo me río de la cordada

Don't cry anymore motherYa no llores madrecita
Don't be tormenting me anymoreYa no me estés atormentando
What of 100 lives I oweQue de 100 vidas que debo
I'm paying with oneCon una la estoy pagando

With this I say goodbyeYa con esta me despido
But I leave you a letter so thatPero les dejo una carta para que
keep singingSigan cantando
