The Hares of Chihuahua

Las Liebres De Chihuahua

Those hares from ChihuahuaEsas liebres de Chihuahua
Have become swiftYa se pusieron ligeras
Those who used to chase their preyLos que perseguian las presas
Are now being chased by the beastsHoy los persiguen las fieras
What happened, my commanderQué pasó mi comandante
I thought you were so toughNo que tú eras tan pantera

If they knew in ParralSi supieran en Parral
How you caught your preyCómo casaste tus presas
The friends you haveLos amigos que tú tienes
Know you're in troubleSaben que estás en problemas
The beauty of ChihuahuaLo bonito de Chihuahua
You bring shame upon itTú lo llenas de vergüenza

In Bainopa you betrayedEn Bainopa traicionaste
Silverio and his friendsA Silverio y sus amigos
In the marsh, CarmeloEn la ciénega, Carmelo
The man who gave you shelterHombre que te dio cobijo
If you like storiesSi es que te gustan los cuentos
Tell this tale to your sonCuéntale este cuento a tu hijo

Run fast little pupCorre fuerte cachorrito
And catch the striped catY alcanza al gato rayado
Being a beast from the mountainsSiendo fiera de la sierra
They are chased by the deerLos corretean los venados
And don't go to CamargoY no vayas a Camargo
Or you'll catch a coldPorque te pega catarro

From Chihuahua to Casas GrandesDe Chihuhua a Casas Grandes
Someone was singing a balladAlguien cantaba un corrido
Praising a commanderAlabando a un comandante
And a wretched little catY un gatito mal nacido
Don't take offenseNo se llamen ofendidos
This is just a balladEste solo es un corrido

In Bainopa you betrayedEn Bainopa traicionaste
Silverio and his friendsA Silverio y sus amigos
In the marsh, CarmeloEn la ciénega, Carmelo
The man who gave you shelterHombre que te dio cobijo
If you like storiesSi es que te gustan los cuentos
Tell this tale to your sonCuéntale este cuento a tu hijo
