Corrido de cananea
Miguel Aceves Mejía
Ballad of Cananea
I will give a detail,
of what has happened to me
that I have been arrested,
being such a daring rooster
I went to Agua Prieta
to see if they knew me
and at eleven at night
the police apprehended me
The Gendarmes apprehended me
in American style
for being a man of crime,
all with guns in hand
The Cananea jail
is located on a table
I was processed there
because of my clumsiness
I don't say goodbye,
because I don't bring it here
I left it to the Holy Child
and the Lord of Mapimí
