```Folks, I bring a balladSeñores traigo un corrido
That fills me with sadnessQue me llena de tristeza
The story of two brothersLa historia de dos hermanos
One very nobleUno de mucha nobleza
Wanted to fix the otherQuería componer al otro
Who turned out to be a bad apple.Que salio mala cabeza.

A tree that grows crookedÁrbol que nace torcido
Will never straighten its trunkJamás su tronco endereza
Juan loved his brother very muchJuan quería mucho a su hermano
For he had an abundance of nobilityPues le sobraba nobleza
You want to clean up the pigQuieres hacer pulcro al puerco
You lose your soap and time.Pierdes tu jabón y tiempo.

Juan never lost hopeJuan no perdía la esperanza
Of fixing MartínDe componer a martín
He took him to DurangoSe lo llevo pa durango
Looking for a futureBuscándole un porvenir
He never thought that victoryNunca pensó que a victoria
Would only come in death.Solo muerto iba a venir.

Juan was noble and a manJuan era noble y muy hombre
And a federal police officerY policía federal
Martín was a thugMartín era un malandrín
One of the many out thereDe los muchos que hay por ahí
He took him to help himSe lo llevo de auxiliar
He wanted to straighten him out.El lo quería enderezar.

One day they didn't workUn día que no trabajaron
Martín started drinkingMartín se puso a tomar
With alcohol and drugsCon el alcohol y la droga
He began to lose controlSe empezó a descontrolar
Firing an r-15Disparaba una r-15
Without stopping to think.Sin detenerse a pensar

When they told JuanCuando le avisan a juan
He quickly came overPronto se dejo venir
And didn't manage to say anythingY no alcanzo a decir nada
Just opened the doorNomás a la puerta abrir
With three bullets in his bodyCon tres balas en el cuerpo
Martín welcomed him.Lo recibía martín.

Fly, fly little doveVuela vuela palomita
To my beloved VictoriaA mi victoria querido
Let her know that Juan AmayaAvisa que a juan amaya
Has passed away in DurangoEn durango a fallecido
That he was killed by his brotherQue lo a matado su hermano
The one Juan loved the most.```El que juan mas ha querido.
