Cuesta mucho ser un hombre
It's hard to be a man
No se ofenda, compañero
Don't be offended, mate
Por aguantarme a lo macho
For putting up with the macho
Un día estuve prisionero
One day I was a prisoner
Quería que les enseñara
He wanted me to teach them
Toditos mis correderos
All my slides
Yo le dije al comandante
I told the commander
Se me hace que usted no sabe
It seems to me that you don't know
Que los hombres cuando nacen
That men when they are born
Ya traemos una clave
We already have a key
En medio de la entre pierna
In the middle of the leg
Tocándole se sabe
By touching him you know
Así decía don Manuel
That's what Don Manuel said
Y de él me estoy acordando
And I am remembering him
Contrataron diez cobardes
They hired ten cowards
Para poder acabarlo
To be able to finish it
Si hubieran sido dos menos
If there had been two less
El gallo estaría cantando
The rooster would be crowing
En palenques, dondequiera
In palenques, anywhere
A ese gallo respetaban
They respected that rooster
Sería porque su navaja
It would be because his knife
Afilada siempre estaba
It was always sharp
No se ocupaba acercarse
He didn't care to get close
Para ver cómo cortaba
To see how it cut
En Sinaloa, su tierra
In Sinaloa, his land
Su presciencia aún se siente
His prescience is still felt
Dicen sus amarradores
Their moorers say
Que siempre fue muy valiente
Who was always very brave
Ese gallo de San Juan
That San Juan rooster
Un gallo de mil palenques
A rooster of a thousand palenques
San Ignacio está de luto
Saint Ignatius is in mourning
También llora Mazatlán
Mazatlán also cries
Y esa Banda del Recodo
And that Bend Band
También muy tristes están
They are also very sad
Cuando escuchan el corrido
When they hear the corrido
De ese gallo de San Juan
Of that San Juan rooster
Don Manuel Salcido Azueta
Don Manuel Salcido Azueta
No es tan fácil olvidar
It's not so easy to forget
Te lo dicen tus amigos
Your friends tell you
Que dejaste en Terán
What did you leave in Teran?
Carlos y José y su grupo
Carlos and José and their group
Siempre te recordarán
They will always remember you
Ya murió Manuel Salcido
Manuel Salcido has already died
Y de él me estoy acordando
And I am remembering him
Contrataron diez cobardes
They hired ten cowards
Para poder acabarlo
To be able to finish it
Si hubieran sido dos menos
If there had been two less
El gallo estaría cantando
The rooster would be crowing
