Paroles et traduction Los Alegres De Terán - El Ojo De Vidrio

El Ojo De Vidrio

Voy a cantar el corrido, del salteador del camino
Que se llamaba Porfirio, llamabanle Ojo de Vidrio
Lo tuerto no le importaba, pues no fallaba en el tiro

Se disfrazaba de arriero, para asaltar los poblados
Burlándose del gobierno, mataba muchos soldados
Nomas blanqueaban los cerros, de puros encalzonados

Ahí viene el ojo de vidrio, gritaba el pueblo asustado
Y a las mujeres buscaba, mirando por todos lados
Dejaba pueblos enteros, llenos de puros colgados

Después de tantas hazañas, al verlo que se paseaba
Con su caballo tordillo, frente de la plaza de armas
Lo acribillaron a tiros, sin que le pasara nada

Decían que estaba forrado, con un chaleco de malla
Las balas le botaban, mientras el se carcajeaba
Se fue tranquilo a caballo, sin que nadie le estorbara

Bajaron 3 campesinos, de allá del cerro escondido
Traian al "Ojo de Vidrio", picado de un coralillo
Venia ya muerto el bandido, sobre el caballo tordillo

The Glass Eye

I'm going to sing the ballad, of a robber on the road
Who was called Porfirio, they called him the Glass Eye
His blindness didn't matter, as his aim never got worse

He disguised himself as a mule driver, to rob villages
Mocking the government, he killed many soldiers
Only the hills would turn white, from all the hanged men

Here comes the glass eye, the people scared would shout
And he would go looking for women, peering all around
He left entire villages, full of men hanged from posts

After such great feats, when people saw him walking
With his silver horse, in front of the parade ground
They riddled him with bullets, but they didn't harm him a bit

They said he was protected, by a chain link vest
The bullets would bounce off, while he just cackled
He left peacefully on horseback, no one daring to bother him

3 farmers came down, from the hidden mountain
They brought the "Glass Eye", bitten by a coral snake
The bandit was already dead, on top of his silver horse
