Paroles et traduction Ramon Ayala - Juan Bedolla

Juan Bedolla

17 años pasaron, alrededor de la historia
Donde murió Chuy Cadena, mataron a Juan Bedolla
Cuando andaba barbechando, para sembrar su cebolla

Gritaba Alicia Fernández, como queriendo llorar
Mataron a mi marido, no lo pude remediar
Pero les juro ante dios, que yo le voy a vengar

Llegaron los federales, aver que había sucedido
Les dice Alicia Fernández, mataron a mi marido
Pero sí me dan refuerzos, les entrego al asesino

El capitán les ordena, a cinco del pelotón
Acompañen la señora, y traigan me a ese maton
Si les ase resistencia, mátenlo si dilación

Llegaron los federales, a la hacienda El Platanal
Les dice Alicia Fernández, ai tienen al criminal
Preparen muy bien sus armas, no se les valla escapar

Flores se había dado cuenta, que lo venían a prender
Preparo su .30-30, pa' poderse defender
Pero Alicia le dispara, y así lo vieron caer

Ya con esta me despido, este el fin de la historia
Donde murió Chuy Cadena, mataron a Juan Bedolla
Y dice Alicia Fernández, que dios los tenga en la gloria

Juan Bedolla

After 17 years, the story told
Where Chuy Cadena died, Juan Bedolla slain and cold
He was preparing the fields, to sow his onion seeds

Alicia Fernández cried out, as if her heart would break
They killed my husband, I couldn't stop their attack
But I swear before God, I'll avenge him, his life I'll take

Federal agents arrived, to investigate the crime
Alicia Fernández told them, they killed my husband, it's no lie
If you give me reinforcements, I'll hand the killer to your line

The captain ordered his men, five from the platoon
Escort the lady, and bring me that goon
If he resists, show no mercy, kill him right away

The federals went to the ranch, El Platanal by name
Alicia Fernández pointed, there's the criminal, she proclaimed
Ready your weapons, don't let him escape, it's a game

Flores knew what was coming, they were there to arrest
He grabbed his .30-30, to defend himself, his best
But Alicia shot him down, and he fell without a rest

With this, I bid farewell, the story's at an end
Where Chuy Cadena died, Juan Bedolla met his end
And Alicia Fernández says, may God their souls defend
