Manuel Juarez Lyrics in English Joan Sebastian
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Manuel Juarez by Joan Sebastian from Spanish to English.
En un ranchito en la sierra
In a little ranch in the mountains
Feliz vivía Manuel Juárez
Manuel Juárez lived happy
Arrendando sus caballos
Renting out his horses
Cuidando sus propiedades
Watching over his properties
Trabajando bien su tierra
Working his land real well
Poco sale a las ciudades
He hardly goes to the cities
Bonita estaba su chata
His babe was pretty
Estaban recién casados
They'd just gotten married
Vivían en casa de adobe
They lived in an adobe house
Pero bien enamorados
But totally in love
La feria del cuarto viernes, señores
Folks, the Fourth-Friday fair
Se celebraba en el pueblo
Was held in town
Cerca de semana santa
Close to Holy Week
Pero andaba suelto el diablo
But the devil was loose
Uah
Uah
Y arriba Sinaloa, amigo
Go Sinaloa, buddy
Manuel ensilla una yegua
Manuel saddles a mare
También su potro más fino
And his finest colt too
Con su sonrisa y su chata
With his smile and his babe
Con rumbo al pueblo se vino
He headed for town
Caramba, qué mala pata
Damn, what bad luck
Qué jugada del destino
What a twist of fate
Un tipo grita en la calle
A dude yells in the street
Ay, qué rechulas caderas
Wow, such gorgeous hips
No se refería a la yegua
He wasn't talking about the mare
Y esas si son tiznaderas
And those are damn hot
Manuel le dio vuelta al potro
Manuel spun the colt around
Y el otro sacó pistola
And the other pulled a gun
Juárez herido de un brazo
Juárez hit in one arm
El otro muerto hecho bola
The other dead in a ball
En las patas del caballo
At the horse’s feet
Que Manuel Juárez adora
That Manuel Juárez adores
Testigos hubo del caso
There were witnesses
Y aunque a Manuel apresaron
And though Manuel got arrested
Luego de averiguaciones
After the inquiries
En libertad lo dejaron
They let him go free
Mientras que calladamente
While quietly
Al hocicón sepultaron
They buried the loudmouth
Y en un ranchito en la sierra
And in a little ranch in the mountains
Allá vive Manuel Juárez
There lives Manuel Juárez
Con sus hijos y su chata
With his kids and his babe
Tiene pocas amistades
He's got few friends
Trabaja cuacos y tierra
He works horses and land
Ya no sale a las ciudades
He doesn't go to the cities anymore
Yo con esta me despido, señores
With this I say bye, folks
Y les recuerdo una cosa
And I remind you of one thing
Que aunque sea humilde el ranchero
Even if the rancher's humble
Hay que respetar su esposa
You gotta respect his wife
