Lyrics and translation Lorenzo De Monteclarò - Juan Bedolla

Juan Bedolla

17 años cumplidos al repertirse la histora
Donde murió Chuy Cadena, mataron a Juan bedolla
Cuando andaba barbechando para sembrar su cebolla

Llegaron los federales a ver que había sucedido
Gritaba Alicia Fernandez: mataron a mi marido
Pero si me dan refuerzos, les entrego al asesino

El capitán les ordena a 4 del pelotón
Acompañen la señora y tráiganme a ese matón
Si les pone resistencia, matenlo sin dilación

Llegaron los federales a la hacienda Platanal
Gritaba Alicia Fernandez: ahí tienen al criminal
Preparen muy bien sus armas, no se les vaya a escapar

Flores se había dado cuenta, que lo venían a aprehender
Preparo su 30-30 pa' poderse defender
Pero Alicia le dispara, ahí lo vieron caer

Ya con esta me despido, aquí termina la historia
Aquí termina el corrido de Flores y Juan Bedolla
Y dice Alicia Fernandez que Dios los tenga en la gloria

Juan Bedolla

A 17 years old, the story repeats itself
Where Chuy Cadena died, Juan Bedolla was killed
As he was tilling the soil to plant his onions

The federals arrived to see what had happened
Alicia Fernandez cried out: They killed my husband
But if you give me reinforcements, I will hand the murderer over to you

The captain orders 4 of the platoon
Accompany the lady and bring me that killer
If he resists, kill him without delay

The federals arrived at the Platanal ranch
Alicia Fernandez cried out: There is the criminal
Prepare your weapons well, don't let him escape

Flores had realized that they were coming to apprehend him
He prepared his 30-30 to defend himself
But Alicia shot him, there they saw him fall

With this I say goodbye, here the story ends
Here ends the ballad of Flores and Juan Bedolla
And Alicia Fernandez says may God have them in glory
