Corrido De Cananea
Voy a dar un pormenor
De lo que a mi me ha pasado,
Que me han agarrado preso
Siendo un galla tan jugado.
Yo me fui para Agua Prieta
A ver quien me conocia
Y a las once de la noche
Me aprehendio la policia.
Me aprehendieron los gendarmes
Al estilo americano,
Como un hombre de delito,
Todos con pistola en mano.
La carcel de Cananea
Esta situada en una Mesa
Y en ella fui procesado
Por causa de mi torpeza.
Despedida no la doy
Porque no la traigo aqui
Se la deje al santo nino
Y al senor de Mapimi.
Cananea Ballad
I'm gonna give a detailed account
Of what has happened to me,
They have taken me prisoner
Being such a daring guy.
I went to Agua Prieta
To see who knew me
And at eleven at night
The police apprehended me.
The gendarmes apprehended me
American style,
Like a criminal man,
All with guns in hand.
The Cananea jail
Is located on a Mesa
And there I was processed
Because of my clumsiness.
I don't bid farewell
Because I don't have it here
I left it to the holy child
And to the lord of Mapimi.
