The one that ran through SonoraLa que corria por Sonora
That's why the Garroteros, the one who doesn't sigh, criesPor eso los Garroteros el que no suspira llora
It was a Sunday, gentlemenEra un domingo señores
Around three in the afternoonComo a las tres de la tarde
Jesus Garcia was caressing his motherEstaba Jesus garcia acariciando a su madre
In a few momentsDentro de pocos momentos
Mother, I have to leaveMadre tengo que partir
The train whistle is heardDel tren se escucha el silbato
My future is approachingSe acerca mi porvenir

When he arrived at the stationCuando llego a la estacion
A train was already whistlingUn tren ya estaba silvando
And a car of dynamiteY un carro de dinamita
Was already burningYa se le estaba quemando

The Fireman tells himEl Fogonero le dice
Jesus, let's go stokingJesus vamonos ateando
Look, the car behindMira que el carro de atras
Is already burning towards usYa se nos viene quemando
Jesus Garcia repliesJesus garcia le contesta
I think very differentlyYo pienso muy diferente
I don't want to be the causeYo no quiero ser la causa
Of so many people dyingDe que muera tanta gente

He turned his steam engine aroundLe dio vuelta a su vapor
Because it was uphillPor que era de cuesta arriba
And before reaching the 6Y antes de llegar al 6
His life ended thereAhi termino su vida

Since that unforgettable dayDesde ese dia inolvidable
You have earned the crossTu te haz ganado la cruz
You have earned the palmsTu te haz ganado las palmas
You are a hero, JesusEres un heroe Jesus
