Translation of the song lyrics Yo Maté a Juan Charrasqueado - Pedro Infante

Yo Maté a Juan Charrasqueado (original)

Por hay andan cantando
Con mucho sentimiento
El corrido de juan
Charrasqueado
Diciendo que borracho y
Entre hartos lo mataron
Y yo quiero decirles lo
Que en verdad pasado
Cobarde y traicionero así
Era el charrasqueado cara
A cara jamas se peleaba
Era muy poco gallo pa
Ponerse en la raya y se
Sentía valiente no mas
Cuando tomaba
Yo mate a juan charrasqueado
Porque quiso burlar el honor
De la joven mas linda de la
Hacienda a quien yo le entregue el corazón
No quise darle a la mala hoy
Le hable pa salir a pelar y
El cobarde corrió para escaparse
Y como perro lo tuve que matar
Un día que de lejos llegaba
Yo a la hacienda me avisaron que
Juan charrasqueado se había
Llevado la hembra que yo adoraba
Tanto y que no la habían visto
Volver aquel poblado
Me eche luego en buscarla
Por todos los lugares
Y por fin la encontré en la barranca
Habia preferido morir a ser burlada
Y yo jure cobrarme de juan su cruel
Hazaña
Yo mate a juan charrasqueado
Porque quiso burlar el honor
De la joven mas linda de la
Hacienda a quien yo le entregue
El corazón
No quise darle a la mala pos
Le hable pa salir a pelear y
El cobarde corrió para escaparse
Y como perro lo tuve que matar

Yo Maté a Juan Charrasqueado (translation)

For there are singing
with a lot of feeling
Juan's corrido
charred
Saying drunk and
Between feds they killed him
And I want to tell you what
that really happened
Cowardly and treacherous like that
It was the charrasqueado face
He never fought face to face
It was very little rooster pa
Get in line and
I felt brave no more
when he took
I killed juan charrasqueado
Because he wanted to cheat the honor
Of the prettiest girl in the
Treasury to whom I give my heart
I didn't mean to hit the bad today
I talked to him to go out and fight and
The coward ran to escape
And as a dog I had to kill him
A day that came from afar
I at the hacienda told me that
charrasqueado Juan had been
Carried away the female that I adored
So much so that they had not seen her
return to that village
I then went looking for her
for all the places
And I finally found her in the canyon
She had preferred to die than be mocked
And I swore to collect from Juan his cruel
Feat
I killed juan charrasqueado
Because he wanted to cheat the honor
Of the prettiest girl in the
Treasury to whom I deliver
The heart
I did not want to give the bad pos
I talked to him to go out and fight and
The coward ran to escape
And as a dog I had to kill him
