Two Friends

Dos amigos

These were, two buddiesEstos eran, dos amigos
Who came from MapimiQue venian de Mapimi
Instead of coming for funQue por no venirse de oquis
They stole from GuanaceviRobaron Guanacevi

They brought, two horsesEllos traiban, dos caballos
One dark and one roanUn oscuro y un jovero
In the dark one they carry clothesEn el oscuro cargan ropa
And in the roan the moneyY en el jovero el dinero

They also brought, machineryTambien traiban, maquinaria
And very good batteriesY muy buenas baterias
To remove the railsPara desclavar los rieles
And make the track switchesY hacer los cambios de via

Martin tells JoseMartin le dice a Jose
Don't get yellowNo te pongas amarillo
Let's rob the trainVamos a robar el tren
Coming from VermejilloQue viene de Vermejillo

I don't turn yellowAmarillo no me pongo
Yellow is my colorAmarillo es mi color
I've stolen big trainsHe robado trenes grandes
And steam enginesY maquinas de vapor

Oh my goodness, little saintValgame el santo ninito
They caught JoseYa agarraron a Jose
On the corner of the marketEn la esquina del mercado
They tied him up and he got awayLo ataron y se les fue

It must have been because of his prayersSeria por sus oraciones
That his mother used to sayQue su madre le rezaba
It must have been his good luckSeria por su buena suerte
That Jose didn't get caughtQue a Jose no le tocaba
