Текст и перевод песни La Original Banda El Limón de Salvador Lizárraga - Juan Martha

Juan Martha

Decian que cargaba el diablo
Mentiras no traia nada
Lo que traiba en su cintura
Era una pistola escuadra.

Robaba y mataba gente
Porque asi se divertia
Su cabeza tenia precio
15, 000 pesos valia.

Juan Martha era aguerrido
Y temido del gobierno
Los rurales le temian
Como si fuera veneno

Su madrecita lloraba
Lloraba y se lo decia
Si me dieran libre ami hijo
15, 000 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 atromentando
Que de 100 vidas que debo
Con una la estoy pagando.

Esta noche con la luna
Y mananacon el sol
Me van a quitar la vida
Sea por el amor de dios.

Ya con esta me despido
Pero les doy una carta
Para que sigan cantando
El corrido de Juan Martha.

Juan Martha

They said he carried the devil with him
Lies he bore nothing
What he wore around his waist
Was a pistol.

He robbed and killed people
Because that's how he entertained himself
There was a price on his head
15,000 pesos to be exact.

Juan Martha was daring
And feared by the government
The rural police were afraid of him
As if he were poison

His mother wept
Wept and told him
If they set my son free
I'll pay 15,000 pesos.

Don't cry, little mother
Don't offer them anything
Because when we get to that hill
I'll laugh at the militia

Don't cry, little mother
Don't torment me
Because of the 100 lives I owe
I'm paying with one.

Tonight, under the moon
And tomorrow, under the sun
They're going to take my life
For the love of God.

With this I say goodbye
But I leave you with a song
So you can keep singing
The ballad of Juan Martha.
