Lyrics and translation Chavela Vargas - Corrido de Cananea (Remastered)




Corrido de Cananea (Remastered)
Corrido de Cananea (Remastered)
Voy a dar un pormenor de lo que a me ha pasado,
I'm going to give you an account of what happened to me,
Que me han agarrado preso, siendo un gallo tan jugado.
That I got caught and arrested, being such a seasoned rooster.
Me fui para la Agua Prieta a ver si me conocían
I went to Agua Prieta to see if anyone knew me,
Y a las once de la noche me agarro la policía.
And at eleven at night, the police caught me.
Me agarraron los chérifes al el estilo Americano
The sheriffs took me in American style,
Por ser hombre de delito, todos con pistola en mano.
For being a criminal, all with guns in hand.
La cárcel de Cananea está situada en una mesa
The jail in Cananea is set up on a table,
Donde yo fui procesado a causa de mi torpeza.
Where I was processed, all because of my foolishness.
Despedida no les doy porque no la traigo aquí
I'm not saying goodbye because I didn't bring it with me,
Se la deje al Santo Niño y al Señor de Mapimí .
I left it to the Holy Child and to the Lord of Mapimí.
