Corrido Delas Comadres
Corridos Mexicanos
Corrido of the Comadres
-- Now come to report yourself, comadrita
Some notes that I picked up on the street
That the brave and fearsome Carrancistas
Tonight have already left from here
-- It's not possible, comadrita, that it's true
That tonight they left without saying goodbye
If you know that brave and valiant
They started fighting with the cows
-- Well, you see that in this square reigns
The brigade of Jonacatepec
They are brave in battle
And in Tepetate they rejonean afterwards
-- I say goodbye, comadrita, because it's late
Tomorrow we will continue the story
Lest your compadre comes
And judges me a Carrancista by chance
-- Better a dog, comadrita, than a coward
A coward or a beggar by chance
Zapatistas even if the world doesn't like it
And even though we old ladies don't change our minds
