Corrido de cananea de Linda Ronstadt

Voy a dar un pormenor
de lo que a mã­ me ha pasado,
que me han agarrado preso
siendo un galla tan jugado.

yo me fui para agua prieta
a ver quiã©n me conocã­a
y a las once de la noche
me aprehendiã³ la policia.

me aprehendieron los gendarmes
al estilo americano,
como un hombre de delito,
todos con pistola en mano.

la cãrcel de cananea
estã situada en una mesa
y en ella fui procesado
por causa de mi torpeza.

despedida no la doy
porque no la traigo aquã­
se la deje al santo niño
y al señor de mapimi.

ballad of cananea

i'm going to detail
what happened to me,
that they have taken me prisoner
being a well played rooster.
(even though i've been around and
should have known better.)

i went to agua prieta
to see if i had a reputation there
and at 11:00 at night
the police apprehended me.

they arrested me
in the american style,
as though i were a criminal
all of them with pistol in hand.

the jail of cananea
is situated on a plateau
and in it i was processed
on account of my stupidity.

i give you no farewell
for i don't have it with me
leave it to the holy child
and to the lord of mapimi.
