Tribute to Pedro Infante

Homenaje a Pedro Infante

From up in the mountain of sufferingDe allá del monte del sufrimiento
The wind comes crying, cryingLlorando viene, llorando el viento
Riding on the painVa cabalgando sobre la pena
Announcing that Pedro has diedViene anunciando que Pedro ha muerto
The gentle wind, his eternal friendEl suave viento, su amigo eterno
That yesterday sang with his songsQue ayer cantaba con sus canciones
Today only has hellish sorrowHoy solo tiene dolor de infierno
And among its wings, a hundred thousand black ribbonsY entre sus alas cien mil crespones

Mariachi that accompaniedMariachi que acompañaste
My brother Pedro InfanteA mi hermano Pedro Infante
Join your voice with mineUne tu voz a la mia
So I can sing for him tooPa'que yo tambien le cante
And if my throatY se acaso mi garganta
Should break with sobsSe quebrara sollozante
Keep playing, mariachiSigue tocando mariachi
Don't hesitate or stallNo te quedes vacilante
For he remains among usQue él quedó entre nosotros
Even if he moves on aheadAunque vaya por delante

In Mazatlán and GuamúchilEn Mazatlán y Guamúchil
The blue sky turned redEl cielo azul se tiño de rojo
And the town mourns the lossY el pueblo llora el despojo
Of the town crier of their announcementsDel pregonero de sus pregones

The old towers of the chapelLas viejas torres de la capilla
With their lament of old bronzeCon su lamento de bronce viejo
Mark the sad and simple rhythmMarcan la pauta triste y sencilla
Of his slow processionDel paso lento de su cortejo

Mariachi that accompaniedMariachi que acompañaste
My brother Pedro InfanteA mi hermano Pedro Infante
Join your voice with mineUne tu voz a la mía
So I can sing for him tooPa' que yo también le canté
And if my throatY si acaso mi garganta
Should break with sobsSe quebrara sollozante
Keep playing, mariachiSigue tocando mariachi
Don't hesitate or stallNo te quedes vacilante
For he remains among usQue él se quedó entre nosotros
Even if he moves on aheadAunque vaya por delante

From up in the mountain of sufferingDe allá del monte del sufrimiento
The wind comes crying, cryingLlorando viene, llorando el viento
