El M Lyrics in English Gerardo Ortiz
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El M by Gerardo Ortiz from Spanish to English.
Me pidieron de favor que yo le hiciera este corrido
They asked me to write this corrido for him
De Michoacán el amigo
From Michoacán, my friend
De los hechos soy testigo que desde los 14 años
I'm a witness to the events, that since he was 14 years old
Emprendiera su camino
He set out on his journey
Junto a su perro merino
Alongside his Merino dog
Hoy lo mirarán tranquilo
Today you'll see him peaceful
Desde Uruapan a Tepeque de Colima hasta Jalisco
From Uruapan to Tepeque, from Colima to Jalisco
Los gallos y los caballos
Roosters and horses
Son sus lujos mas preciados sus hijos y sus cuñados
Are his most prized possessions, his children and his brothers-in-law
También sus cuatro muchachos
Also his four boys
Pronto estarás de regreso
Soon you'll be back
De veras te hecho de menos
I really miss you
También me gusta festejar
I also like to celebrate
Aunque no acostumbro a tomar
Although I don't usually drink
Quiero ver caballos bailar

También una banda tocar
Also a band play
Como olvidar al Fre esa chulada de caballo
How can I forget Fre, that beautiful horse
Traigan al valentín que ese es de mis meros cuacos
Bring Valentín, he's one of my real horses
Traigo ganas de montarlo
I'm eager to ride him
Puro pa' delante primo así como los aviones
Straight ahead, cousin, just like airplanes
Es mi dicho preferido
It's my favorite saying
Yo se bien lo que les digo no es tan fácil el camino
I know what I'm telling you, the road isn't so easy
Yo perdí buenos amigos

Se fue mi primo El Venado

En mi primer atentado

De las cosas de la vida lo bonito es la familia

En el naranjo de chila

Desde niño arreando vacas siempre con una esperanza

De lograr algo en la vida
Of achieving something in life
Y mi santo que me cuida
And my saint who watches over me
Milagroso San Juditas

Y me la quisieron voltear
And they tried to turn me against them
Poco me faltó pa' accionar
I almost took action
Pa' que aprendan a respetar
So they learn to respect
Aquí yo mando en la ciudad
