Текст и перевод песни Los Dinámicos del Norte - Candido Rodriguez

Candido Rodriguez

Voy a cantar un corrido de un amigo de mi tierra,
Mataron en copalquin a un valiente de la sierra.
Un lunes por la mañana se despidio de sus criaturas,
Me voy para copalquin a reglar unas facturas.

Cuando llego a copalquin Adrian andaba tomando,
La musica de otatillos la que le andava tocando.
Adrian le dice Adelaido hombre vete a previniendo,
Hay que matar a Rodriguez que traigo orden del Gobierno.

Adelaido le contesta no te bayas a dormir,
Si se da cuenta Rodriguez nos vamos a divertir.
Cuando Rodriguez llego lo invitaron a tomar,
Conmigo tienes dinero el que tu quieras gastar.
Rodriguez les contesto arriscandoce el sombrero,
Pa' pasiarme en copalquin no necesito dinero.

Mando tocar una pieza, catarino & los rurales,
Al comenzar la cansion empezaron a tirarle.
Rodriguez no hizo caso creyendo que eran al viento,
Quizo sacar su pistola pero no le dieron tiempo.

Cuando Rodriguez cayo, cayo sobre una trinchera,
Le quitaron su pistola y tambien su carrillera.
Por los filos de la sierra los pinos se oyen llorar,
De ver a Rodriguez muerto que lo llevan a enterrar.

Candido Rodriguez

I'm going to sing you a corrido about a friend of mine from my homeland.
They killed a brave man from the mountains in Copalquin.
One Monday morning he said goodbye to his children,
I'm going to Copalquin to settle some debts.

When he arrived in Copalquin, Adrian was drinking,
The music of otatillos was playing for him.
Adrian said to Adelaido, man, go and get ready,
We have to kill Rodriguez because I have orders from the government.

Adelaido answered him, don't go to sleep,
If Rodriguez finds out, we're going to have a good time.
When Rodriguez arrived, they invited him to have a drink,
You have as much money as you want to spend with me.
Rodriguez answered them, taking off his hat,
I don't need money to hang out in Copalquin.

He ordered them to play a song, Catarino & los rurales,
As the song began, they started shooting at him.
Rodriguez didn't pay attention, thinking they were shooting in the wind,
He tried to pull out his gun, but they didn't give him time.

When Rodriguez fell, he fell into a trench,
They took his gun and his bandolier.
On the mountain's edge, the pines weep,
To see Rodriguez dead, being carried to his grave.
