Lyrics and translation José Alfredo Jiménez - Camino de Guanajuato

Camino de Guanajuato

Ay, ja-ja-ja-jay
José Alfredo, túmbele con ganas
No te rajes, guanajuato
¡Túmbele!
No vale nada la vida
La vida no vale nada
Comienza siempre llorando
Y así, llorando, se acaba
Por eso, es que en este mundo
La vida no vale nada (Claro que no)
Bonito León guanajuato
Su feria con su jugada
Allí se apuesta la vida
Y se respeta al que gana
Allá en mi León Guanajuato
La vida no vale nada
Ah, ah, jajajajajay
Túmbale, cansados, ahí nomás
Ay, jaja
Camino de Guanajuato
Que pasas por tanto pueblo
No pases por Salamanca
Que allí me hiere el recuerdo
Vete rodeando veredas
No pases porque me muero
El Cristo de tu montaña
Del cerro del Cubilete
Consuelo de los que sufren
Adoración de la gente
El Cristo de tu montaña
Del cerro del Cubilete
Camino de Santa Rosa
La Sierra de Guanajuato
Allí, nomás tras Lomita
Se ve Dolores Hidalgo
Yo allí me quedo, paisanos
Allí es mi pueblo adorado

Road to Guanajuato

Hey, ha-ha-ha-hay
José Alfredo, play it with passion
Don't give up, Guanajuato
Play on!
Life is worth nothing
Life is not worth anything
It always begins with crying
And so, with crying, it ends
That's why, in this world
Life is not worth anything (Of course not)
Beautiful León, Guanajuato
Your fair with its gambling
There they bet their lives
And respect the winners
Over there in my León Guanajuato
Life is worth nothing
Ah, ah, hahahahay
Play it, boys, right there
Oh, haha
Road to Guanajuato
That passes through so many towns
Don't pass through Salamanca
For there, memories hurt me
Go around the trails
Don't pass by, for I will die
The Christ of your mountain
On the Cubilete hill
Consolation for those who suffer
Adoration of the people
The Christ of your mountain
On the Cubilete hill
Road to Santa Rosa
The Sierra of Guanajuato
Right there, just beyond Lomita
You can see Dolores Hidalgo
There I shall remain, my fellow countrymen
There is my beloved town
