Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Juan Ayón by Chalino Sanchez from Spanish to English.
Para cantar el corrido voy a finar a mi acordion
To sing the corrido I'm gonna tune my accordion
Recordando a un buen amigo
Remembering a good friend
Que se llama Juan Ayon
That is named Juan Ayon
Del estado de Durango
From the state of Durango
De mucha resolución
Of strong resolve
No quiero ofender a nadien
I don't wanna offend anybody
Con lo que dice el corrido
With what the corrido says
Aunque lo vean chaparrito
Even though they see him short
Es temido y decidido
He's feared and determined
Al que le pone la mano
Whoever lays a hand on him
Del mundo se ha despedido
Has said goodbye to the world
Manuel, Alejandro, y Chilo y Chevo
Manuel, Alejandro, and Chilo and Chevo
Son muy entrones
Are real go-getters
Son los hermanos de Juan
They're Juan's brothers
Finos y con espolones
Polished and with spurs
Cuando los ven a los 5
When they see the five of them
Dicen ay van los Ayones
They say there go the Ayons
Siempre lo miran de traje
They always see him in a suit
Con botas y de tejana
With boots and a cowboy hat
En puro caro de lujo
In nothing but a luxury car
Su pistola Americana

En las cachas trae su nombre
On the grips bears his name
La bandera Mexicana

Le gusta que le acompañe

Siempre un conjunto norteño

Que me canten Los Amables

Porque me gusta lo bueno

Me gusta cumplir cuando hablo

Cuando mi palabra empeño

Adiós rancho de las Milpas

Allá en mi rancho adorado
