Paroles et traduction La Rebelión Norteña - Corrido De Juan Martha

Corrido De Juan Martha

Decian que cargaba el diablo mentiras no carga nada
Lo que carga en su cintura es una pistola escuadra
Aguerrido era juan marta seguido por el gobierno
Los rurales le temian como si fuera veneno

Robaba y mataba gente porque asi se divertia
Su cabeza tenia precio quince mil pesos valia
En la estacion la morita lo aprendieron los rurales
Lo llevaron a Chihuahua soldados y judiciales

Su madrecita lloraba lloraba y se los decia
Si me dieran libre a mi hijo quince mil pesos daria
Ya no llores madrecita ya no les ofrezcas nada
Que llegando aquel Cerrito yo me rio de la acordada

Ya no llores madrecita no me estes atormentando
Que de cien vidas que debo con una la estoy pagando
Esta noche con la luna y mañana con el sol
Me van a quitar la vida sea por el amor de dios

Ya con esta me despido hay les dejare una carta
Para que sigan cantando el corridor de juan marta

Juan Martha's Ballad

They said he carried the devil but that's not true
The only thing he carries is a pistol on his hip
Juan Martha was a fearless man, pursued by the government
The rural police were terrified of him as if he were poison

He robbed and murdered people because that's how he amused himself
There was a price on his head, fifteen thousand pesos
At the La Morita train station, the rural police caught him
They took him to Chihuahua, soldiers and judicial police

His mother wept and wept and said to them
If you would set my son free, I would give you fifteen thousand pesos
Don't cry, my mother, don't offer them anything
On reaching that little hill, I'll laugh at the police

Don't cry, my mother, don't torment me
Of the hundred lives I owe, I'm paying with one
Tonight, under the moon, tomorrow, in the sun
They will take my life, for the love of God

Now I bid you farewell, I'll leave you a letter
So that you may continue singing Juan Martha's ballad
