Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amigos Contados (En Vivo) by Tony Aguirre from Spanish to English.

Estos eran, dos amigos

Que venían de Mapimi

Que por no venirse de oquis

Robaron Guanacevi

Ellos traiban, dos caballos

Un oscuro y un jovero
A dark one and a young one
En el oscuro cargan ropa
In the dark one they carry clothes
Y en el jovero el dinero
And in the young man the money
También traiban, maquinaria
They also bring, machinery
Y muy buenas baterias
And very good batteries
Para desclavar los rieles
To untie the rails
Y hacer los cambios de vía
And make the track switches
Martín le dice a Jose

No te pongas amarillo
Don't turn yellow
Vamos a robar el tren

He robado trenes grandes

Y maquinas de vapor

Valgame el santo ninito

Ya agarraron a Jose

En la esquina del mercado

Seria por sus oraciones

Que su madre le rezaba

Seria por su buena suerte
It would be because of his good luck
Que a Jose no le tocaba
