Juan Charrasqueado Lyrics in English Antonio Aguilar
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Juan Charrasqueado by Antonio Aguilar from Spanish to English.
Voy a cantarles un corrido muy mentado
I'm going to sing a very famous corrido for you
Lo que ha pasado allí en la hacienda de la flor
About what happened there at the hacienda de la flor
La triste historia de un ranchero enamorado
The sad story of a rancher in love
Que fue borracho, parrandero y jugador
Who was a drunkard, party-goer, and gambler
Juan se llamaba, y lo apodaban charrasqueado
His name was Juan, and they called him "charrasqueado"
Era valiente y arriesgado en el amor
He was brave and daring in love
A las mujeres más bonitas se llevaba
He would take the most beautiful women
E esos campos no quedaba ni una flor
And not a single flower was left in those fields
Un día domingo que se andaba emborrachando
One Sunday, while he was getting drunk
A la cantina le corrieron a avisar
They ran to the cantina to warn him
Cuídate Juan que por ahi te andan buscando
Be careful, Juan, they're looking for you around there
Son muchos hombres no te vayan a matar
There are many men, they might kill you
No tuvo tiempo de montar en su caballo
He didn't have time to mount his horse
Pistola en mano se le echaron de a montón
With a gun in hand, they attacked him all at once
Estoy borracho les gritaba y soy buen gallo
I'm drunk, he shouted at them, and I'm a good rooster
Cuando una bala atravesó su corazón
When a bullet pierced his heart
Creció la milpa con la lluvia en el potrero
The cornfield grew with the rain in the pasture
Y las palomas van volando al pedregal
And the doves fly to the rocky hill
Bonitos toros llevan hoy al coleadero
Beautiful bulls are being taken to the bullfight
Que buen caballo va montando el caporal
The foreman is riding a great horse
Ya las campanas del santuario están doblando
The bells of the sanctuary are tolling
Todos los fieles se dirigen a rezar
All the faithful are going to pray
Y por el cerro los rancheros van bajando
And the ranchers are coming down the hill
A un hombre muerto que lo llevan a enterrar
Carrying a dead man to be buried
En una choza muy humilde llora un niño
In a humble hut, a child cries
Y las mujeres se aconsejan y se van
And the women console each other and leave
Pero su madre lo consuela con cariño
But his mother comforts him with love
Mirando al cielo llora y reza por su Juan
Looking at the sky, she cries and prays for her Juan
Aquí termino de cantar este corrido
Here I finish singing this corrido
De Juan ranchero, charrasqueado y burlador
About Juan, the rancher, "charrasqueado" and trickster
Que se creyó de las mujeres consentido
Who thought he was favored by women
Que fue borracho, parrandero y jugador
Who was a drunkard, party-goer, and gambler
