The Ballad of My Red Bike

El corrido de mi baica roja

This is the balladEste es el corrido
of my red bikede mi baica roja
that one Sunday morningque en un dia domingo muy en la mañana
as I was heading out to see my girlcuando iva saliendo a ver a mi morra
my boss sent me for a cold oneme mando mi jefe por una caguama
feeling bummed outyo bien awitado
I asked for the cashle pedi la feria
and packed the bottles in the baskety heche los embaces en la canastilla
I rode to the corner storeme lanse a la tienda de aqui de la esquina
but it was dry and they wouldn't sellpero era ley seca y no me vendian

Pedaling slowlypedaleando lento
I reached Santa Terellege a santa tere
but even at the market they had nonepero aya en el tianguis tampoco tenian
I was getting hungryya me andava de hambre
my stomach was growlingme gruñian las tripas
and I arrived at Poncho Brambila's sandwichesy llege a las tortas de poncho brambila
I headed towards Hidalgome fui por hidalgo
crossed the avenuepase la calzada
then a minibus almost ran me overluego un minibus me andava atropeyando
feeling the urge to go number twocomo tube ganas de hacer del dos
I went into the bathrooms at San Juan de Diosme meti a los baños de san juan de dios

Around 11 I got to Tlaquepaqueya como a las 11 llege a tlaquepaque
and almost got lost in San Pedritoy aya en san pedrito casi me perdia
it was getting darkse me iso bin tarde
and the liquor stores were closedcasi obscurecia y estaban cerradas las vinaterias
I went to Plutarco'spor la de plutarco
then all the way to El Salateme fui hasta el salate
and finally got some at a little shopy en una tiendita porfin me vendieron
I left four skid marks on the pavementen el empedrado deje cuatro rayos
from all the dogs chasing mepor todos los perros que me persiguieron
I got out as best as I couldsali como pude
from Santa Chilade ahi de santa chila
and in Jalisco they were knocking me downy ahi en la jalisco me andavan tumbando

This was the balladeste fue el corrido
of my red bikede mi baica roja
that I rode out one Sunday from Santa Magoque sali un domingo desde santa mago
