Al que le hice este corrido
To whom I made this run
Ténganlo muy bien presente
Keep it very well in mind
Para agarrarse a puñetes, tenia que ser muy valiente
To grab your fists, you had to be very brave.
Porque siempre andaba solo, aunque tenia un que otro amigo
Because he was always alone, even though he had a few friends.
Nada mas con su caballo que el mismo le puso el indio
Nothing more with his horse than the Indian himself gave him
Si quieren saber su nombre
If you want to know your name
Yo se los voy a decir
I'm going to tell you
Nando Payán se llamaba, sabia lo que era sufrir
His name was Nando Payán, he knew what it was like to suffer.
Porque se quedó sin padres, siempre con necesidades
Because he was left without parents, always in need
Era de carácter fuerte, no le importaba morir
He was strong-willed, he didn't mind dying
Fue un hombre muy decidido, siempre muy atrabancado
He was a very determined man, always very stuck
Porque a su estilo y su modo, siempre educó a su caballo
Because in his style and his way, he always educated his horse
El se volaba trincheras, y se brincaba las trancas
He blew up trenches, and he jumped over the bars
El se metía hasta las casas porque a nadie respetaba
He went into houses because he didn't respect anyone.
Y cuando ando tomaba, todos le tenían miedo
And when he was drinking, everyone was afraid of him
Con su pistola y su daga, para el nunca hubo gobierno
With his gun and his dagger, for him there was never a government
Se paseaba por sus ranchos
He walked through his ranches
En su caballo tornillo, cuando estaba bien borracho
On his horse's screw, when he was really drunk
Masticaba hasta los vidrios
He even chewed the glass
Cantina la puerta negra, donde pasaron los hechos
Cantina la Puerta Negra, where the events happened
Ahí dejo un desconocido, con un puñete en el cuello
There I left a stranger, with a punch in the neck
Lo agarraron desarmado, lo dejaron mal herido
They caught him unarmed, they left him badly injured
El quería seguir viniendo, para ver crecer a ponchito
He wanted to keep coming, to see Ponchito grow.
Lo agarraron descuidado, esto paso allá en la sierra
They caught him careless, this happened there in the mountains
A él le quitaron la vida, y no pudo defenderla
They took his life, and he couldn't defend it
Tirado con un balazo
Shot with a bullet
Mirando al que lo mataba
Looking at the one who killed him
Él agarraba su daga y la atascaba en la tierra
He grabbed his dagger and stuck it in the ground.
Aquí termina el corrido, después la vuelvo a cantar
The corrido ends here, then I'll sing it again
El nació allá en babunica, saben que digo verdad
He was born there in Babunica, you know I'm telling the truth
Su espíritu anda con su hijo, el siempre lo cuidara
His spirit walks with his son, he will always take care of him
Este es el ultimo verso
This is the last verse
Del señor Nando Payan
From Mr. Nando Payan
