Lyrics of Contrabando De Juárez - Miguel Y Miguel

Contrabando De Juárez (original)

Me aprendieron en El Paso
Después de cruzar El Bravo
Me tomaron prisionero cargando mi contrabando
Me preguntaron mi nombre
Y tambien my procedencia
Yo les dije «Soy de Juarez, ahi no piden licencia,»
Me marcaron con el siete, una camisa rallada
Me pusieron prisionero un domingo en la manana
Bonito Juarez querido
Yo desde aquí te deviso
Lastima que aqui en el paso
Tenga cierto compromiso
Son las once de la noche
Oigo música en los bares
Mi querida ya me espera
En una calle de Juárez
Aunque el muro sea de acero
Y yo no cargo las llaves
El dia 7 de febrero
Yo me pasiare en sus calles
Gueritas de ojos azules
No les puedo dar mi mano
Porque me tienen, juiciado el gobierno americano
Es bonito el Rio Bravo
Ya nadie podrá negarlo
Pero el contrabando pesa
Cuando se cruza nadando

(translation)

They learned me in El Paso
After crossing El Bravo
They took me prisoner carrying my contraband
they asked my name
And also my origin
I told them "I'm from Juarez, they don't ask for a license there,"
They marked me with the seven, a grated shirt
They put me prisoner one Sunday morning
Nice Juarez dear
I will see you from here
It hurts that here in the step
have some commitment
It's eleven at night
I hear music in bars
My dear is already waiting for me
On a street in Juárez
Even if the wall is made of steel
And I don't carry the keys
On February 7
I will spend in its streets
blue-eyed gueritas
I can't give you my hand
Because they have me, on trial the American government
The Rio Bravo is beautiful
No one can deny it anymore
But the contraband weighs
When he swims across
