Lyrics and translation Los Alegres De Terán - Los Dos Amigos

Los Dos Amigos

Estos eran, dos amigos
Que venían de Mapimi
Que por no venirse de oquis
Robaron Guanacevi

Ellos traiban, dos caballos
Un oscuro y un jovero
En el oscuro cargan ropa
Y en el jovero el dinero

También traiban, maquinaria
Y muy buenas baterías
Para desclavar los rieles
Y hacer los cambios de via

Martin le dice a Jose
No te pongas amarillo
Vamos a robar el tren
Que viene de Vermejillo

Amarillo no me pongo
Amarillo es mi color
He robado trenes grandes
Y maquinas de vapor

Valgame el santo ninito
Ya agarraron a Jose
En la esquina del mercado
Lo ataron y se les fue

Seria por sus oraciones
Que su madre le rezaba
Seria por su buena suerte
Que a Jose no le tocaba

Two Friends

These were two friends
Who came from Mapimi
So as not to come empty-handed
They robbed Guanacevi

They brought two horses
One dark and one grey
In the dark one they carried clothes
And in the grey one the money

They also brought machinery
And very good batteries
To unbolt the rails
And to change the tracks

Martin says to Jose
Don't turn yellow
Let's go rob the train
That's coming from Vermejillo

I don't turn yellow
Yellow is my color
I have robbed big trains
And steam engines

Oh my sainted child
They have already caught Jose
On the corner of the market
They tied him up and he got away

It must have been because of his prayers
That his mother said for him
It must have been because of his good luck
That it wasn't Jose's turn
