Cuco Peña Lyrics in English Thalía
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuco Peña by Thalía from Spanish to English.
Este es el corrido del grán Cuco Peña
This is the ballad of the great Cuco Peña
Hombre bien bragado en toda su tierra
A tough man all over his land
En el desayuno se echaba un tequila
At breakfast he'd down a tequila
Para el mediodía abría otra botella
By noon he'd open another bottle
Ya para la noche, pistola en la mano
Come nightfall, pistol in hand
Vaciando cantinas, giraba en tacones
Emptying bars, spinning on heels
Luego en una esquina buscaba chamacas
Then on a corner he'd look for girls
Sombrero de lado, camisa de fuera
Hat cocked, shirt hanging loose
Agarró a la vieja, la echaba en el anca
He grabbed a chick, tossed her on the horse
Clavaba la espuela y el caballo arranca
He dug in his spurs and the horse bolted
Y ocurrió esa noche que estando borracho
And that night, drunk as hell
Después de quererla, quedó entre sus brazos
After loving her, she lay in his arms
Ay Cuco Peña, ay alma en pena
Oh Cuco Peña, oh tortured soul
Ay Cuco Peña, no era la buena
Oh Cuco Peña, she wasn't the one
Ay Cuco Peña, ay alma en pena
Oh Cuco Peña, oh tortured soul
Ay Cuco Peña, no era la buena
Oh Cuco Peña, she wasn't the one
Luego al día siguiente, terror en la cara
Next day, terror on his face
'Qué hacía a su lados, él se preguntaba
"What's by my side?" he wondered
Era el joven Huicho, de extrañas maneras
It was young Huicho, acting so strange
Vestido de 'ñora, sonriendole ahora
Dressed like a lady, now smiling at him
'¡Me has roto la honra!', gritó Cuco Peña
"You've ruined my honor!" Cuco Peña screamed
Y desorbitado sacó la pistola
Wild-eyed he whipped out his pistol
Dándo de balazos al pobre del Huicho
Showering poor Huicho with bullets
Lavó su deshonra el grán Cuco Peña
The great Cuco Peña washed off his shame
Detrás de las rejas el grán Cuco Peña
Behind the bars, the great Cuco Peña
Triste y solitario cumple su sentencia
Sad and alone serves out his term
Pero de su celda ya hizo vivienda
Yet he's already turned his cell into home
Llegan sus muchachas, comida y bebida
His girls drop in with food and drink
Ay Cuco Peña, ay alma en pena
Oh Cuco Peña, oh tortured soul
Ay Cuco Peña, no era la buena
Oh Cuco Peña, she wasn't the one
Ay Cuco Peña, ay alma en pena
Oh Cuco Peña, oh tortured soul
Ay Cuco Peña, no era la buena
Oh Cuco Peña, she wasn't the one
Y este fue el corrido del grán Cuco Peña
And this was the ballad of the great Cuco Peña
Genio y figura hasta la sepultura
A legend in flesh till the grave
Trotando en el mundo su sombra vagaba
Trotting the world his shadow wandered
Buscando su hombría que alguien se llevara
Chasing the manhood someone had taken
Ay Cuco Peña, ay alma en pena
Oh Cuco Peña, oh tortured soul
Ay Cuco Peña, no era la buena
Oh Cuco Peña, she wasn't the one
Ay Cuco Peña, ay alma en pena
Oh Cuco Peña, oh tortured soul
Ay Cuco Peña, no era una vieja
Oh Cuco Peña, it wasn't a woman
