The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Medios Hermanos" by Joan Sebastian.

Lyrics

José y Alejandro no crecieron juntos
Por esas cosas de humanos
La mera verdad parecian gemelos
Pero eran medios hermanos
Hoy voy a cantarles y asi he de contarles
Como empezo la discordia
Por una Isabel que los dos conocieron
Y los dos hicieron novia
Decia la muchacha, decia sin desfacha
Que ella a los dos amaba
Y que al principio creyo que eran uno
Ay que equivocada estaba
Una tarde junto al rio
Sobre los lomos de un potro
José apasionado besaba a la «Chabe»
Y en eso que llega el otro
«Y Ave María Chabelita
Que problemon»
Muy grande coraje cargaba Alejandro
Tambien muy grande cuchillo
Un odio en el alma que le habia infundido
Su madre desde chiquillo
Sobre la pareja lanzo su caballo
Cayendo los tres al rio
El agua teñida con la misma sangre
Chabela sola y con frio
Oiganme madres celosas
Que triste se oye esta historia
Dos medios hermanos que no se quisieron
Que Dios los tenga en su Gloria

Lyrics translation

Joseph and Alexander did not grow up together
Because of those human things
The mere truth looked like twins
But they were half brothers
Today I'm going to sing to you and so I have to tell you
How the discord began
By an Isabel you two met
And they both made a girlfriend
Said the girl, said it without disdain
That she both loved
And at first I thought they were one
Oh, I was wrong.
An afternoon by the river
On the loins of a foal
Joseph passionately kissed the " Chabe»
And in that comes the other
"And Hail Mary Chabelita
What problemon»
Very great courage carried Alexander
Also very large knife
A hatred in the soul that had instilled in him
His mother since childhood
On the couple threw his horse
Falling all three into the river
Water stained with the same blood
Chabela alone and cold
Hear me jealous mothers
How sad you hear this story
Two half-brothers who didn't want each other
May God have them in his glory
