Medios Hermanos Lyrics in English Joan Sebastian
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Medios Hermanos by Joan Sebastian from Spanish to English.
José y Alejandro no crecieron juntos
José and Alejandro didn't grow up together
Por esas cosas de humanos
For those human reasons
La mera verdad parecian gemelos
Truth be told, they looked like twins
Pero eran medios hermanos
But they were half-brothers
Hoy voy a cantarles y así he de contarles
Today I'll sing to you and that's how I'll tell you
Como empezo la discordia
How the trouble started
Por una Isabel que los dos conocieron
Over an Isabel that they both met
Y los dos hicieron novia
And both made her their girl
Decia la muchacha, decia sin desfacha
The girl would say, she'd say it shamelessly
Que ella a los dos amaba
That she loved them both
Y que al principio creyo que eran uno
And that at first she thought they were one
Ay que equivocada estaba
Oh, how mistaken she was
Una tarde junto al rio
One afternoon by the river
Sobre los lomos de un potro
On the back of a colt
José apasionado besaba a la 'Chabe'
José passionately kissed 'Chabe'
Y en eso que llega el otro
And just then the other one arrives
'Y Ave María Chabelita que problemon'
'And Hail Mary Chabelita, what a huge problem'
Muy grande coraje cargaba Alejandro
Alejandro carried a great rage
También muy grande cuchillo
Also a very big knife
Un odio en el alma que le habia infundido
A hatred in his soul that had been instilled
Su madre desde chiquillo
By his mother since he was a boy
Sobre la pareja lanzo su caballo
He launched his horse at the couple
Cayendo los tres al rio
All three falling into the river
El agua teñida con la misma sangre
The water stained with the same blood
Chabela sola y con frio
Chabela alone and cold
Oiganme madres celosas
Listen to me, jealous mothers
Que triste se oye esta historia
How sad this story sounds
Dos medios hermanos que no se quisieron
Two half-brothers who didn't love each other
Que Dios los tenga en su Gloria
May God have them in His Glory
