Paroles et traduction Cornelio Reyná - Dos Amigos

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 lo 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 vía

Martin le dice a José
No te pongas amarillo
Vamos a robar el tren
Que viene de Bermejillo

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

Válgame el santo niñito
Ya agarraron a José
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 José no le tocaba.

Two Friends

These were, two friends
Who came from Mapimi
So as not to come up empty

They robbed Guanacevi

They brought, two horses
A dark one and a gray one
In the dark one they carried clothes
And in the gray one, the money

They also brought, machinery
And very good batteries
To unbolt the tracks
And to make the change of track

Martin says to José
Don't get scared
We're gonna rob the train
That's coming from Bermejillo

Scared, I'm not
Yellow is my color
I've robbed big trains
And steam engines

Holy little child
They already caught José
On the corner of the market
They tied him up and he got away

It must have been his prayers
That his mother prayed to
It must have been his good luck
That it wasn't José's time
