Voy a cantar un corrido

Que traigo prendido
What am I wearing?
En el fondo de mi alma

Es la desgracia de un hombre
It's a man's misfortune
Que fue muy mi amigo

Y murió en la barranca
And he died in the ravine
Era rival en amores
He was a rival in love
De un hombre muy macho
Of a very macho man
Que siempre ganó
that he always won
Se disputaban a Rosa
They disputed Rosa
La niña más chula
The coolest girl
De aquella región

Se citaron la noche más negra
They quoted the blackest night
Y al barranco acudieron los dos
And the two went to the ravine
Eran las diez de la noche
It was ten o'clock at night
En la vieja capilla
in the old chapel
Que esta en el panteón
What is in the pantheon?
Cuando sonaron dos tiros
When two shots rang out
Y un hombre sin vida

Al barranco cayó

Hoy han pasado dos años

Y a aquel buen amigo

Sale vestida de blanco

Mientras yo sé que, en la cárcel

Se piensa matar

Yo, por eso, le canto a la vida

Yo, por eso, no creo en el amor

Eran las diez de la noche
