Camelia's Ballad

Corrido de Camelia

In the year of seventy-sevenAño del setenta y siete
Testimony was writtenTestimonio se escribia
The conversion of a ladyLa conversion de una dama
Who got involved in the mafiaQue en la mafia se envolvia
Camelia, that's what the drug dealers and police called herCamelia asi la llamaban los narcos y policia

She was the terror of menEra el terror de los hombres
Of all who knew herDe cuantos la conocian
She made her own justiceHacia su propia justicia
For a plot she lived inPor un trama que vivia
There were witnesses everywhere when she lived without ChristPor donde quiera hay testigos cuando sin cristo vivia
But God changed her lifePero dios cambio su vida
When she least expected itCuando menos lo esperaba
Today she preaches about Jesus ChristHoy predica a jesucristo
Wherever she goesPor donde quiera que anda
She's no longer the Camelia who trafficked in the worldYa no es aquella camelia que en el mundo traficaba

By turning her back on the worldPor darle la espalda al mundo
And the things it offeredY las cosas que ofrecia
The devil began to attack herEl diablo empezo a atacarla
Because he no longer served herPues el ya no le servia
More than once they accused her of things she shouldn't have doneMas de un vez la acusaron de cosas que no debian
For these same reasonsPor estos mismos motivos
They took her to jailAla carcel la llevaron
She never lost faithNunca perdio la confianza
That God was by her sideQue dios estava a su lado
She was only there for three daysSolo estuvo tres dias
Because they couldn't prove anythingPues nada le comprobaron
It didn't matter what she had doneNo impotaba lo que haya sido
Or how big the problem wasNi lo grande del problema
Let's never forget about ChristNunca olvidemos a cristo
He's the same everywhereEs el mismo donde quiera
He changes and transforms the livesCambia y transforma la vida
Of all who believe in Him.A todos que en el creen.
