CORRIDO DE JUAN CORTINA


1859 para ser preciso
por andar vendiendo ajeno
se agarraron bien macizo

Dizque muy serio tratado
de Guadalupe Hidalgo
las tierras se han robado

México sufre un despojo
y dijo Juan Cortina
ahorita yo me enojo

Mas allá del Río Bravo
gringos contra mexicanos
leyes y tratados sirven
solo a los americanos

Cortina es de Tamaulipas
y paga las ofensas
con balas en las tripas

Los güeros ya no le gustan
nada mas se le pegan
lo miran y se asustan

Juan Nepomuceno Cortina
sabe muy bien lo que pasa
es muy hombre entre los hombres
para defender la raza

Entrénle rinches cobardes
decía Juan cortina
le doy las buenas tardes

Miedo le tienen los rinches
decía Juan Cortina
yo se que son muy pinches

Cuanta sangre derramada
para defender la tierra
si no saben respetarnos
vámonos a darles guerra

Rinches de todo el estado
decía Juan Cortina
se roban el ganado

Rinches de la madriguera
decía Juan Cortina
se roban al frontera

Si dicen que soy un bandido
por defender mi raza
las pruebas yo les pido

Juan Nepomuceno Cortina
sacó para los gringos
pistola y carabina

Que viva Juan Nepomuceno
que trae para los gringos
pistola y doble freno

Que viva Juan Nepomuceno
que trae para los gringos
pistola y doble freno

THE BALLAD OF JUAN CORTINA

1859, to be precise,
for selling what wasn't theirs,
they got into a massive fight

notwithstanding the supposedly very serious Treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo
and they robbed the land.

Mexico was plundered,
and Juan Cortina said,
"now I'm really mad!"

Over there, across the Rio Bravo,
gringos versus Mexicans;
laws and treaties
only serve the 'Americans.

Cortina is from Tamaulipas
and he pays back offenses
with a bullet in the gut.

The whites don't like his fame anymore!
They huddle together;
they just look at him and become frightened!

Juan Nepomuceno Cortina
knows very well what's going on;
he's a man among men,
for defending his people.

"Come on, you cowardly Rangers,"
said Juan Cortina,
"I'll bid you 'good afternoon'!"

"The Rangers fear me,"
said Juan Cortina,
"I know they're scum!"

"How much blood spilled
to defend the land!
If they don't know enough to respect us,
we'll give them war!"

"Rangers from all over the state",
steal our cattle!"
said Juan Cortina,

"Rangers, from their burrows,
steal the border!"
said Juan Cortina.

"If they say I'm an outlaw
for defending my people,
let them prove it!"

Juan Nepomuceno Cortina
took out his pistol and carbine
for the gringos

Long live Juan Nepomuceno,
who brings the gringos
a pistol and double reins!
