Juan Colorado

My name is Juan ColoradoJuan Colorado me llamo
I am a man from MichoacánSoy señores de Michoacán
And even the bravestY hasta los más salidores
When they see me, they go paleAl mirarme mustios se van

I carry on my horse a saddleTraigo en mi cuaco una silla
Made of leather, silver, and ivoryQue es de cuero plata y marfil
And two guns on my beltY dos pistolas al cinto para
For those who don't enter the foldAquel que no entre al redil

Long live my land MichoacánQue viva mi tierra Michoacán
Bring Charanda to toastQue traigan Charanda pa' brindar
Juan Colorado is hereQue Juan Colorado aquí está ya
Riding his horse The HurricaneMontando en su cuaco El Huracán

Through mountains and valleysPor las montañas y valles
On my horse, I cross swiftlyEn mi cuaco cruzó veloz
And in every town I pass throughY en cada pueblo que paso
I always leave a love aliveSiempre dejo vivo un amor

When I meet a brave oneCuando me encuentro un resuelto
Who wants to fight face to faceQue de frente quiera pelear
With my gun or macheteCon mi pistola o machete
And with my luck, I will winY con mi suerte yo he de ganar

Long live my land MichoacánQue viva mi tierra Michoacán
Bring Charanda to toastQue traigan charanda pa' brindar
Juan Colorado is hereQue Juan Colorado aquí está ya
Riding his horse The HurricaneMontado en su cuaco El Huracán

Juan Colorado is leavingYa se va Juan Colorado
He came here to greet youYa los vino aquí a saludar
Whoever seeks him will find himEl que lo busque lo encuentra
In the direction of ApatzingánPor el rumbo de Apatzingán

Always seeking adventuresSiempre buscando aventuras
I go eagerly with blind zealVoy deseoso con ciego afán
Through those flowery fieldsPor esos campos floridos
Of my land, which is MichoacánDe mi tierra que es Michoacán

Long live my land MichoacánQue viva mi tierra Michoacán
Bring Charanda to toastQue traigan charanda pa' brindar
Juan Colorado is leavingQue Juan Colorado ya se va
Riding his horse The HurricaneMontado en su cuaco El Huracán

Long live my land MichoacánQue viva mi tierra Michoacán
Bring Charanda to toastQue traigan charanda pa' brindar
Juan Colorado is leavingQue Juan Colorado ya se va
Riding his horse The HurricaneMontado en su cuaco El Huracán
