Juan Martha Lyrics in English La Energia Nortena
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Juan Martha by La Energia Nortena from Spanish to English.
Decían que cargaba el diablo
They said that he carried the devil
Mentiras, no traía nada
Lies, he didn't carry anything
Lo que traiba' en su cintura
What he had on his waist
Era una pistola escuadra
Was a semi-auto pistol
Robaba y mataba gente
He robbed and killed people
Porque así se divertía
Because that's how he had fun
Su cabeza tenía precio
His head had a price
15 mil pesos, valía
It was worth fifteen thousand pesos
Juan Martha, era aguerrido
Juan Martha was battle-hardened
Temido por el gobierno
Feared by the government
Los rurales le temían
The rurales feared him
Como si fuera veneno
As if he were poison
Su madrecita, lloraba
His dear mother cried
Lloraba y se lo decía
She cried and told him
Si me dieran libre a mi hijo
If they would set my son free
15 mil pesos, daría
I'd give fifteen thousand pesos
Ya no llores, madrecita
Don't cry anymore, dear mother
Ya no les ofrezcas nada
Don't offer them anything anymore
Que llegando a aquel cerrito
That when I reach that little hill
Yo me río de la acordada
I'll laugh at the posse
Ya con esta me despido
With this I say goodbye
Pero les dejo una carta
But I leave you a letter
Para que sigan cantando
So that you keep singing
El corrido de Juan Martha
The corrido of Juan Martha
