Cananea Ballad

Corrido De Cananea

I'm gonna give a detailed accountVoy a dar un pormenor
Of what has happened to me,De lo que a mi me ha pasado,
They have taken me prisonerQue me han agarrado preso
Being such a daring guy.Siendo un galla tan jugado.

I went to Agua PrietaYo me fui para Agua Prieta
To see who knew meA ver quien me conocia
And at eleven at nightY a las once de la noche
The police apprehended me.Me aprehendio la policia.

The gendarmes apprehended meMe aprehendieron los gendarmes
American style,Al estilo americano,
Like a criminal man,Como un hombre de delito,
All with guns in hand.Todos con pistola en mano.

The Cananea jailLa carcel de Cananea
Is located on a MesaEsta situada en una Mesa
And there I was processedY en ella fui procesado
Because of my clumsiness.Por causa de mi torpeza.

I don't bid farewellDespedida no la doy
Because I don't have it herePorque no la traigo aqui
I left it to the holy childSe la deje al santo nino
And to the lord of Mapimi.Y al senor de Mapimi.
