Translation of the song lyrics El Hijo de Mi Compadre - Juan Gabriel

El Hijo de Mi Compadre (original)

Al hijo de mi compadre que se llama margarito
Lo metieron a la carcel por que se robo un chivito
Al hijo de mi compadre que se llama margarito
Lo metieron a la carcel por que se robo un chivito
Yo lo acompane a sacarle mi compadre el juez le dijo
Senor vengo a suplicarle que perdono usted a mi hijo
Senor vengo a suplicarle que perdone usted a mi hijo
El juez le contesto son 45 pesos
Por menos y mas senor a qui tengo muchos presos
Por menos y mas senor a qui tengo muchos presos
Ha muchachos no se componen
Ni volviendonos a batir.
Y salimos de la carcel para conseguir dinero
El tiene muchos pendientes
Pero su hijo es primero
Le presto don abrahan le presto don efren
Le presto don trino don jesus y don rafael
Y lo fue a sacar y le dijo el juez
Pagaras con carcel si es que robas otra vez
No te da pena ver a tu padre que se averguenza
No hagas que sufra tu pobre madre muchacho piensa
No eres rico tampoco pobre
No es necesario muchacho tonto de que tu robes
Si quieres algo trabaja y compra
Al fin y al cabo que a qui en el campo el trabajo sobra

El Hijo de Mi Compadre (translation)

To the son of my compadre who is called Margarito
They put him in jail because he stole a goat
To the son of my compadre who is called Margarito
They put him in jail because he stole a goat
I accompanied him to get him out, my compadre, the judge told him
Lord I come to beg you to forgive my son
Lord I come to beg you to forgive my son
The judge answered him, it's 45 pesos
For less and more, sir, I have many prisoners
For less and more, sir, I have many prisoners
Ha boys don't make up
Not even fighting again.
And we got out of jail to get money
He has many earrings
But his son is his first
I lend him don abrahan I lend him don efren
I lend him Don Trino Don Jesus and Don Rafael
And he went to get it out and the judge told him
You will pay with jail if you steal again
You are not sorry to see your father who is embarrassed
Don't make your poor mother suffer boy think
You are not rich nor poor
No need silly boy for you to steal
If you want something, work and buy
At the end of the day, here in the field there is plenty of work
