Manuel Juarez
En un ranchito en la sierra
Feliz vivía Manuel Juárez
Arrendando sus caballos
Cuidando sus propiedades
Trabajando bien su tierra
Poco salía a las ciudades
Bonita estaba su chata
Estaban recién casados
Vivían en casa de adobe
Pero bien enamorados
La feria del cuarto viernes, señores
Se celebraba en el pueblo
Cerca de Semana Santa
Pero andaba suelto el diablo
Manuel ensilla una yegua
También su potro más fino
Con su sonrisa y su chata
Con rumbo al pueblo se vino
¡Caramba! ¡Qué mala pata!
¡Qué jugada del destino!
Un tipo grita en la calle
¡Ay, qué re chulas caderas!
No se refería a la yegua
Y esas sí son tiznaderas
Manuel le dio vuelta al potro
El otro sacó pistola
Juárez, herido de un brazo
El otro, muerto, hecho bola
En las patas del caballo
Que Manuel Juárez adora
Testigos hubo del caso
Y aunque a Manuel apresaron
Luego de averiguaciones
En libertad lo dejaron
Mientras que calladamente
Al hocicón sepultaron
Y en un ranchito en la sierra
Allá vive Manuel Juárez
Con sus hijos y su chata
Tiene pocas amistades
Trabaja cuacos y tierra
Ya no sale a la ciudades
Yo con esta me despido, señores
Y les recuerdo una cosa
Que aunque sea humilde el ranchero
Hay que respetar su esposa
Manuel Juarez
On a small ranch in the mountains
Manuel Juarez lived happily
Leasing your horses
Taking care of your properties
Working his land well
He rarely went out to the cities
Her flat was pretty
They were newly married
They lived in an adobe house
But very much in love
The fourth Friday fair, gentlemen
It was celebrated in the village
Near Easter
But the devil was on the loose
Manuel saddles a mare
Also his finest colt
With his smile and his flat
Heading towards the town he came
Wow! What bad luck!
What a twist of fate!
A guy screams in the street
Oh, what cool hips!
He didn't mean the mare
And those are the soot ones
Manuel turned the colt around
The other one took out a gun
Juarez, wounded in the arm
The other, dead, curled up
On the horse's legs
That Manuel Juarez adores
There were witnesses to the case
And although Manuel was arrested
After investigations
They set him free
While quietly
They buried the snout
And in a little ranch in the mountains
Manuel Juarez lives there
With his children and his flatbed truck
He has few friends
He works with horses and land
He doesn't go out to the cities anymore
With this I say goodbye, gentlemen
And I remind you of one thing
Even if the rancher is humble
You have to respect his wife
