Don Marcos

Don Marcos

Don Marcos

Of horses and bravesDe caballos y valientes
A thousand corridos have been foundSe han trovado mil corridos
But this one is very differentPero este es muy diferente
Sharpen your senses wellAfinen bien sus sentidos

It is not a betrayal of loveNo es de una traición de amores
It's not a drug storyNi es una historia de narcos
It is the story of a rancherEs la historia de un ranchero
The ballad of Don MarcosEl corrido de Don Marcos

Filly tamerAmansador de potrancas
Truly in loveEnamorado de veras
He jumped over all the barriersSe brincó todas las trancas
For him there were never bordersPara él nunca hubo fronteras
The illegal, old youngEl ilegal, viejo joven
His true songsSus canciones verdaderas

Born on June 18thNació el dieciocho de junio
And he died on August 8thY murió el ocho de agosto
His love for horsesSu gusto por los caballos
He charged the highest costLe cobró el más alto costo

If I sing, it is not because I canSi canto, no es porque pueda
If I cry, it is not because I am a cowardSi lloro, no es por cobarde
There is a curfew in my soulEn mi alma hay toque de queda
I'm singing to my fatherLe estoy cantando a mi padre

Filly tamerAmansador de potrancas
Truly in loveEnamorado de veras
You jumped all the barriersBrincaste todas las trancas
For you there were no bordersPara ti no hubo fronteras
Oh, illegal, old youngAy, ilegal, viejo joven
It really hurt when you leftSí que dolió que te fueras

I didn't make you a wooden crossNo te hice cruz de madera
I didn't even make you a cement crossNi te hice cruz de cemento
I just made you this corridoSolo te hice este corrido
And in my soul your monumentY en mi alma tu monumento
I just made you this corridoSolo te hice este corrido
And in my soul your monumentY en mi alma tu monumento
