Текст и перевод песни Eliseo Robles - Valentin De La Sierra

Valentin De La Sierra

Voy a cantar el corrido
De un amigo de mi tierra
Llamabase valentin
Que fue fusilado
Y colgado en la sierra

No me quisiera acordar
Era una tarde de invierno
Cuando por su mala suerte
Cayo valentin en manos del gobierno

El capitan le decia
Cual es la gente que mandas
Son ochocientos soldados
Que tienen sitiada
La hacienda de holanda

El coronel le pregunta
Cual es la gente que guias
Son ochocientos soldados
Que trae por la sierra
Mariano mejia

Valentin como era hombre
De nada les dio razon
Yo soy de los meros hombres
De los que inventaron la revolucion

El general le decia
Yo te concedo el indulto
Pero me vas a decir
Cual es en jurado
La causa que juzgo

Antes de llegar al cerro
Valentin quiso llorar
Madre mia de guadalupe
Por tu religion me van a matar

Vuela, vuela, palomita
Parate en ese fortin
Estas son las mañanitas
De un hombre valiente
Que fue valentin

Valentin De La Sierra

I'm going to sing the corrido
Of a friend from my land
He was called Valentin
Who was shot
And hung in the mountains

I wouldn't want to remember
It was a winter afternoon
When by his bad luck
Valentin fell into the hands of the government

The captain would tell him
Who are the people you command?
There are eight hundred soldiers
Who have laid siege
The Hacienda de Holanda

The colonel would ask him
Who are the people you guide?
There are eight hundred soldiers
That Mariano Mejia
Brings through the mountains

Valentin, as he was a man,
Would give them no reason
I am one of the very men,
Of those who invented the revolution

The general would tell him
I grant you a pardon
But you will tell me
Who is on the jury
The cause that I judge

Before reaching the hill
Valentin wanted to cry
My mother, the Virgin of Guadalupe,
For your religion they're going to kill me

Fly, fly, little dove,
Stopover at that little fort.
These are the morning songs
Of a valiant man,
Who was Valentin
