Paroles et traduction Chalino Sanchez Y Banda Brava - Arcadio Barraza

Arcadio Barraza

Voy a cantar un corrido señores a un hombre de buena raza
Recordando a un comisario del nombre Arcadio Barraza

Era un sabado de gloria recuerdo cuando salio de la chilla
Su corazon le avisaba que con vida no volvia

Francisco su hijo le dijo muy triste donde te llevo a curar
Culiacan o el Cojedero pa que te puedas salvar

Arcadio le contestaba muy lento yo ya me estoy acabando
Llevame pa la calera mi madre me esta esperando

Su madre se consolaba y decia devisando aquellos cerros
Hay te lo encargo diosito te hacia falta alla en el cielo

En el pantion de la Ilama se sabe que hay su cuerpo descansa
El homenaje se lo hizo su primo Miguel Barraza

17 hijos quedaron muy solos hay dos mujeres de negro
Sus familiares y amigos nunca volveran a verlo

Arcadio Barraza

I'm going to sing a corrido, ladies, about a man of good breed,
Remembering a police chief by the name of Arcadio Barraza.

It was a Saturday in Holy Week, I remember when he left La Chilla.
His heart was telling him that he would not return alive.

His son Francisco said to him very sadly, "Where should I take you to be healed,
Culiacan or El Cojedero, so that you can be saved?"

Arcadio answered him very slowly, "I am already dying.
Take me to La Calera, my mother is waiting for me there."

His mother consoled herself and said, looking at those hills,
There I entrust him to you, dear God, you needed him up in heaven."

In the Ilama pantheon, it is known that his body rests,
The tribute was paid to him by his cousin, Miguel Barraza.

17 children were left very alone, there are two women in black,
His family and friends will never see him again.
