Paroles et traduction Carlos y José - Agapito Casanova

Agapito Casanova

El día 1º. De octubre, se le concedió a la ley,
Que Agapito Casanova, se presento a Monterrey

Se presento a Monterrey, al gobierno del estado,
Le levantaban en falso, que andaba de rebelado,

Yo no ando en contra el gobierno,
Tampoco ando rebelado,
Ando escapando mi vida,
Desde que mate a Mercado

Ando de la soledad, me vi en la mera orilla,
Donde me agarre a balazos, con el mayor Rentería

Ese mayor Rentería, era un jefe militar,
Se tendió sobre el caballo, no le fueran a pegar

Cuando llegaba a los llanos, se paraba y los contaba
Le daba gracias a Dios, y al caballo que montaba

El caballo que montaba, le nombraba el Numero Uno
Para salvarle la vida, como el alazán ninguno

Adiós todos mis amigos, que tengo en esta región
Estado de Tamaulipas y también de Nuevo León

Agapito Casanova

On October 1st, it was granted by law,
That Agapito Casanova, appeared in Monterrey

He appeared in Monterrey, to the state government,
They were falsely accusing him, of being a rebel,

I am not against the government,
Nor am I a rebel,
I am running for my life,
Since I killed Mercado

I am fleeing from the isolation, I saw myself on the edge,
Where I got into a gunfight, with Major Rentería

That Major Rentería, was a military chief,
He lay down on his horse, so they wouldn't hit him

When he arrived at the plains, he would stop and count them
He would thank God, and the horse he was riding

The horse he was riding, he named it Number One
To save his life, like no other chestnut horse

Farewell to all my friends, that I have in this region
State of Tamaulipas and also of Nuevo León
