Valentin De La Sierra Lyrics in English Ana Gabriel
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Valentin De La Sierra by Ana Gabriel from Spanish to English.
Voy a cantar un corrido
I'm gonna sing a corrido
De un amigo de mi tierra
About a buddy from my land
Llamadose Valentín
Named Valentín
Que fue fusilado y colgado en la sierra
Who was shot and hanged in the mountains
No me quisiera acordar
I wish I didn't remember
Era una tarde de invierno
It was a winter afternoon
Cuando por su mala suerte
When, by bad luck
Cayo Valentín en manos del gobierno
Valentín fell into the government's hands
El coronel le decía
The colonel told him
Cual es la gente que mandas?
Who are the people you command?
Son ochocientos soldados
Eight hundred soldiers
Que tienen sitiada la sierra de holandas
Who've got the Holandas range under siege
El coronel le pregunta
The colonel asked him
Cual es la gente que guías?
Who are the folks you guide?
Son ochocientos soldados
Eight hundred soldiers
Que trae por la sierra mariano mejía
Who lead Mariano Mejía across the sierra
Valentín como era hombre de nada les dio razón
Valentín, being a man, gave them no answer
Yo soy de los meros hombres
I'm one of the real men
Los que han inventado la revolución
The ones who sparked the revolution
El coronel le decía
The colonel told him
Yo te concedo el indulto
I'll grant you a pardon
Pero me vas a decir cual es el jurado y la causa que juzgo
But you gotta tell me the jury and the cause I'm judging
Antes de llegar al cerro Valentín quiso llorar
Before reaching the hill Valentín wanted to cry
Madre mía de Guadalupe
Oh Mother of Guadalupe
Por tu religión me van a matar
They're gonna kill me for your faith
Vuela, vuela palomita
Fly, fly little dove
Párate en ese fortín
Land on that fort
Estas son las mañanitas
These are the mañanitas
De un hombre valiente que fue Valentín
For a brave man who was Valentín
