Voy a cantarles un corrido muy mentado
I'm going to sing you a much-mentioned corrido
Lo que ha pasado allí en la hacienda de la flor
What has happened there at the flower farm
La triste historia de un ranchero enamorado
The sad story of a rancher in love
Que fue borracho, parrandero y jugador
That he was a drunk, a partygoer and a gambler
Juan se llamaba, y lo apodaban charrasqueado
Juan was his name, and they nicknamed him charrasqueado
Era valiente y arriesgado en el amor
He was brave and risky in love
A las mujeres más bonitas se llevaba
The most beautiful women were taken away
En aquellos campos no quedaba ni una flor
In those fields there was not a single flower left
Un día domingo que se andaba emborrachando
One Sunday when he was getting drunk
A la cantina le corrieron a avisar
They ran to the canteen to warn
'Cuídate juan que ya por ahí te andan buscando
'Take care juan because they are already looking for you
Son muchos hombres no te vayan a matar'
There are many men who are not going to kill you'
No tuvo tiempo de montar en su caballo
He didn't have time to get on his horse
Pistola en mano se le echaron de a montón
Gun in hand, they threw a pile at him
Estoy borracho les gritaba y soy buen gallo
I'm drunk, I yelled at them and I'm a good rooster
Cuando una bala atravesó su corazón
When a bullet pierced his heart
Creció la milpa con la lluvia en el potrero
The cornfield grew with the rain in the pasture
Y las palomas van volando al pedregal
And the pigeons fly to the stony ground
Bonitos toros llevan hoy al matadero
Beautiful bulls are taken to the slaughterhouse today
Que buen caballo va montando el caporal
What a good horse the foreman rides
Ya las campanas del santuario están doblando
Already the bells of the sanctuary are tolling
Todos los fieles se dirigen a rezar
All the faithful go to pray
Y por el cerro los rancheros van bajando
And down the hill the ranchers go down
A un hombre muerto que lo llevan a enterrar
A dead man who is taken to be buried
En una choza muy humilde llora un niño
In a very humble hut a child cries
Y las mujeres le aconsejan y se van
And women advise him and leave
Mientras su madre lo consuela con cariño
As his mother comforts him with affection
Mirando al cielo llora y reza por su Juan
Looking at the sky, she cries and prays for her John
Aquí termino de cantar este corrido
Here I finish singing this corrido
De Juan ranchero, charrasqueado y burlador
De Juan ranchero, charrasqueado and burlador
Que se creyó de las mujeres consentido
What was believed of women spoiled
Que fue borracho, parrandero y jugador
That he was a drunk, a partygoer and a gambler
