Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Martes Me Fusilan by Vicente Fernández from Spanish to English.
El martes me fusilan
On Tuesday I was shot
A las 6 de la mañana
At 6 a.m
Por creer en Dios eterno
For Believing in the Eternal God
Y en la gran Guadalupana
And in the great Guadalupana
Me encontraron una estampa
They found me a picture
De Jesús en el sombrero
Of Jesus in the Hat
Por eso me sentenciaron
That's why I was sentenced
Porque yo soy un cristero
'Cause I'm a Cristero
Es por eso me fusilan
That's why they shoot me
El martes por la mañana
Tuesday Morning
Matarán mi cuerpo inútil
They'll kill my useless body
Pero nunca, nunca mi alma
But never, never my soul
Yo les digo a mis verdugos
I tell my executioners
Que quiero me crucifiquen
That I want to be crucified
Y una vez crucificado
And once crucified
Entonces usen sus rifles
Then use your rifles
Adiós sierras de Jalisco
Goodbye Jalisco Mountains
Michoacán y Guanajuato
Michoacán and Guanajuato
Donde combatí al Gobierno
Where I fought the government
Que siempre salió corriendo
That always ran away
Me agarraron, de rodillas
They grabbed me, on my knees
Adorando a Jesucristo
Worshipping Jesus Christ
Sabían que no había defensa
They knew there was no defense
En ese santo recinto
In that holy precinct
Soy labriego por herencia
I am a farmer by inheritance
Jalisciense de naciencia
Jalisco by birth
No tengo más Dios que Cristo
I have no God but Christ
Por que me dio la existencia
Why did he give me existence
Con matarme no se acaba
Killing me doesn't end
La creencia en Dios eterno
Belief in the Eternal God
Muchos quedan en la lucha
Many are left in the struggle
Y otros que vienen naciendo
And others that are being born
Es por eso me fusilan
That's why they shoot me
El martes por la mañana
Tuesday Morning
Peloton, prepareeen, apunteeen
Peloton, prepareen, apunteeen
Viva Cristo Rey y fuego
Long live Christ the King and fire
