Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caminos De Guanajuato by José Alfredo Jiménez from Spanish to English.
José Alfredo, túpele con ganas
José Alfredo, hit it hard
No te rajes Guanajuato
Don't back down, Guanajuato
No vale nada la vida
Life isn't worth a thing
La vida no vale nada
Life's worth nothing
Comienza siempre llorando
It always starts crying
Y así llorando se acaba
And crying like that it ends
Por eso es que en este mundo
That's why in this world
La vida no vale nada
Life's worth nothing
Bonito León, Guanajuato
Pretty León, Guanajuato
La feria con su jugada
The fair with its wager
Allí se apuesta la vida
There you bet your life
Y se respeta al que gana
And they respect the one that wins
Allá en mi León, Guanajuato
Over there in my León, Guanajuato
La vida no vale nada
Life's worth nothing
Camino de Guanajuato
Road to Guanajuato
Que pasas por tanto pueblo
That you pass through so many towns
No pases por Salamanca
Don't go through Salamanca
Que allí me hiere el recuerdo
Because there the memory wounds me
Vete rodeando veredas
Go around by trails
No pases porque me muero
Don't pass because I'd die
El Cristo de tu montaña
The Christ of your mountain
Del cerro del Cubilete
Of Cubilete hill
Consuelo de los que sufren
Comfort for those that suffer
Adoración de la gente
Adoration of the people
El Cristo de tu montaña
The Christ of your mountain
Del cerro del Cubilete
Of Cubilete hill
Camino de Santa Rosa
Road to Santa Rosa
La sierra de Guanajuato
The mountains of Guanajuato
Allí nomás tras lomita
Right there just past the little hill
Se ve Dolores Hidalgo
Dolores Hidalgo can be seen
Yo allí me quedo, paisano
I stay there, countryman
Allí es mi pueblo adorado
That's my beloved town
