La Carcel de Cananea

The Cananea Jail

La Carcel de Cananea

I'm going to give a detailed accountVoy a dar un pormenor
Of what has happened to meDe lo que a mí me ha pasado
That I've been taken prisonerQue me han agarrado preso
Being such a daring guySiendo un galla tan jugado

I was apprehended by the gendarmesMe aprehendieron los gendarmes
In American styleAl estilo americano
Like a criminalComo un hombre de delito
All with guns in handTodos con pistola en mano

The Cananea jailLa carcel de Cananea
Is located on a mesa'Ta situada en una Mesa
And there I was processedY en ella fui procesado
Because of my clumsinessPor causa de mi torpeza

I don't say goodbyeDespedida no la doy
Because I don't bring it herePorque no la traigo aquí
I left it to the holy childSe la deje al santo nino
And to the lord of MapimiY al senor de Mapimi
