De esta sierra a la otra sierra
From this mountain range to the other mountain range
Se divisa San Jose
San Jose can be seen
Vida mia de mis amores
My life of my loves
Que me vine y los deje
That I came and left them
Cuando sali de mi casa
When I left my house
De nadie me despedi
I said goodbye to no one
Solo de los chinamantes
Only from chinamancers
Y un gato que estaba ahi
And a cat that was there
Solo yo iba caminando
Only I was walking
Sin saber a donde ir
Without knowing where to go
Otra tierra iba buscando
I was looking for another land
Sin saber que iba a sufrir
Without knowing what I was going to suffer
(arriba el estado de Sinaloa, compa Nacho
(above the state of Sinaloa, friend Nacho
Y la sierra de Chihuahua)
And the mountains of Chihuahua)
Pasaron meses enteros
Whole months passed
Yo empezaba a recordar
I was beginning to remember
Que mis padres me dijeron
What my parents told me
Que no los fuera a olvidar
That I would not forget them
No lloro por que ando lejos
I don't cry because I'm far away
De mi novia que deje
From my girlfriend that I left
Me acuerdo de los consejos
I remember the advice
De mis padres que olvide
Of my parents that I forgot
Su bendiciones me dieron

Y en mi mente guardo yo
And in my mind I keep
Al quedar solo ellos murieron
When they were left alone they died
Y mi novia se caso
