Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Máquina 501 by La Energia Nortena from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Máquina 501, la que corrió por Sonora
Machine 501, the one that ran through Sonora
Por eso los garroteros, el que no suspira llora
That's why the garroteros, he who doesn't sigh cries
Era un domingo señores, como a las 3 de la tarde
It was a Sunday, gentlemen, at around 3 in the afternoon
Estaba Jesús García, acariciando a su madre
There was Jesús García, caressing his mother
Dentro de pocos momentos, madre tengo que partir
In a few moments, mother, I have to leave
Del tren se escucha el silbato, se acerca mi porvenir
You hear the train whistle, my future is approaching
Al llegar a la estación, el tren ya estaba silbando
When we arrived at the station, the train was already whistling
Y un carro de dinamita, ya se le estaba quemando
And a car of dynamite, it was already burning
El garrotero le dice, Jesús vámonos apeando
The garrotero tells him, Jesus, let's get off
Mira que el carro de atrás, ya se nos viene quemando
Look, the car behind us is already burning
Jesús García le contesta, yo pienso muy diferente
Jesús García answers him, I think very differently
Yo no quiero ser la causa, de que muera tanta gente
I don't want to be the cause of so many people dying
Le dio vuelta a su vapor, como era de cuesta arriba
He turned his steamer, as it was uphill
Antes de llegar al 6, ahí termino su vida
Before reaching 6, his life ended there
Desde ese día inolvidable, tu te has ganado la cruz
Since that unforgettable day, you have earned the cross
Tu te has ganado las palmas, eres un héroe Jesús
You have won the palms, you are a hero Jesus
