El Capitan Fantasma - Carlos y José traduction en anglais

El Capitan Fantasma

Del Jimmy Reyes Quezada
Voy a cantar un corrido
Ni la cárcel lo enmendaba
La conoció desde niño
Fue el destino, quien marcara
Que agarrara el mal camino

Ya lo echaron al olvido, era el Capitán Fantasma
Si alguien merece un corrido, es él por grandes hazañas
De fugarse del presidio, cuantas veces lo intentara

De Durango y Monterrey, del Distrito Federal
Ciudad Victoria también, de ahí se logró escapar
Las rejas no detuvieron, al famoso Capitán

Estado de Tamaulipas, Puerto Jaibo de Tampico
Ahí lo viste nacer, la fecha no se las digo
Al que el destino empujara, por la senda del delito

En el carro de basura, de Victoria te escapaste
De la ley de Monterrey, de ella también te burlaste
Al escapar en un mueble, que tú mismo fabricaste

Adiós Capitán fantasma, adiós cárcel de Victoria
Esas cárceles ingratas que conocieron tu historia
Si en el infierno estuvieras, te escaparas a la gloria

El Capitan Fantasma

From Jimmy Reyes Quezada
I am going to sing you a corrido
Not even prison could reform him
He had known it since childhood
It was fate that marked
That he would take the wrong path

They have now forgotten him, he was the Phantom Captain
If anyone deserves a corrido, it is him for his great feats
Of escaping from prison, how many times he tried

From Durango and Monterrey, from the Federal District
From Ciudad Victoria too, from there he managed to escape
The bars did not stop the famous Captain

The state of Tamaulipas, the port of Jaibo in Tampico
That's where you will saw him born, I won't tell you the date
The one whom destiny pushed down the path of crime

In the garbage truck, from Victoria you escaped
From the law of Monterrey, from it you also mocked
When you escaped in a piece of furniture, which you made yourself

Goodbye, Phantom Captain, goodbye, prison of Victoria
Those ungrateful prisons that knew your story
If you were in hell, you would escape to glory
