Corrido De Chito Cano Lyrics in English Ramón Ayala
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Corrido De Chito Cano by Ramón Ayala from Spanish to English.
Año del setenta y uno, el mes de octubre corría
Year of seventy-one, the month of October was running
En Reinosa Tamaulipas, al despuntar nuevo día
In Reinosa Tamaulipas, at the dawn of a new day
Hirieron a Chito Cano, no se sabe quién sería
They wounded Chito Cano, it is not known who it would be
Que bonitos son los hombres, no se les puede negar
How beautiful are the men, it cannot be denied
Aún después de caído, tuvo la fuerza de hablar
Even after falling, he had the strength to speak
No corran, no sean cobardes, acábenme de matar
Don't run, don't be cowards, finish killing me
Con un balazo en la espalda, él todavía se reía
With a bullet in the back, he was still laughing
No los creía tan cobardes, hampones o policías
He didn't believe them so cowardly, thugs or police
Me pegaron por la espalda, de frente no se podía
They hit me from behind, from the front it couldn't be
Se presentó Chon García a hablar con la judicial
Chon García showed up to talk with the judicial
Para que maten a Chito trabajo les ha de dar
For them to kill Chito, it must be a job for them
No más sálganle al camino, sombreros van a sobrar
Just get out of the way, hats will be in surplus
De Reinosa a Matamoros, de Monterrey a Laredo
From Reinosa to Matamoros, from Monterrey to Laredo
Anden con mucho cuidado, agentes y pistoleros
Be very careful, agents and gunmen
Todavía soy Chito Cano y todavía no me muero
I am still Chito Cano and I am still not dead
Ya con ésta me despido, sin agravios ni rencores
With this I say goodbye, without grievances or grudges
Lo que se presta se paga, tengan presente señores
What is lent is paid back, keep in mind gentlemen
Si al cielo avientas la daga, va en busca de los traidores
If you throw the dagger to heaven, it goes in search of the traitors
