Paroles et traduction José Alfredo Jiménez - Adiós a Pedro Infante

Adiós a Pedro Infante

Nuevamente, se ha enlutado el firmamento
Se extremece todo el pueblo emocionado
Ya han llorado las estrellas en silencio
Por la voz que para siempre se ha apagado

Su humildad y su modestia no restaron
Los aplausoso que le dio, México entero
Muy abierto el corazón, se lo entregaron
Al amigo más humilde y más sincero

Adiós, adiós, adiós mi Pedro Infante
Ya estaremos contigo más adelante
Que estos versos te lleguen allá en la gloria
Tu pueblo llora y canta a tu memoria

Ni el dinero ni la fama le importaban
A su noble corazón de mexicano
La modestia y sencillez siempre encontraban
Los que fueron a esterchar su franca su mano

Fue su cuna, Sinaloa, tierra amada
De la fama, fue llegando hasta la meta
Mas no supo que la muerte lo acechaba
Escondida allá en la tierra yucateca

Adiós, adiós, adiós, mi Pedro Infante
Ya estaremos contigo más adelante
Que estos versos te lleguen allá en la gloria
Tu pueblo llora y canta a tu memoria

Farewell to Pedro Infante

Once again, the firmament has been draped in mourning
The entire town is shuddering with emotion
The stars have already silently wept
Over the voice that has been forever extinguished

His humility and modesty did not diminish
The applause that was given to him by all of Mexico
Their hearts wide open, they gave it to him
To the most humble and sincere friend

Farewell, farewell, farewell, my Pedro Infante
We will be with you soon enough
May these verses reach you up there in glory
Your people weep and sing in your memory

Neither money nor fame mattered to him
To his noble Mexican heart
Modesty and simplicity always found
Those who went to shake his frank hand

Sinaloa, beloved land, was his cradle
Of fame, he arrived at the finish line
But he did not know that death was stalking him
Hidden away in the Yucatan land

Farewell, farewell, farewell, my Pedro Infante
We will be with you soon enough
May these verses reach you up there in glory
Your people weep and sing in your memory
