Lyrics
(Ajua, ajua, ojo que no, corazón que no siente
Decía el ojo de vidrio y el corredero de gente
Tenia un solo ojo, y ni una alma que lo quisiera, ajua)
Voy a cantar el corrido, del salteador del camino
Que se llamaba Porfirio, llamabanle Ojo de Vidrio
Lo tuerto no le importaba, pues no fallaba en el tiro, ajua
(No apuntaba con el ojo bueno, porque estaba miope
Pero con el de vidrio, miraba con aumento, un bulto bruto
Hacia de cuenta que tiraba a boca de jarro, y no le jarraba)
Se disfrazaba de arriero, para asaltar los poblados
Burlándose del gobierno, mataba muchos soldados
Nomás blanqueaban los cerros, de puros encalzonados
(Bueno, blanqueaban los que traiban
Los que no, pos nomás negreaban)
Ahí viene el ojo de vidrio, gritaba el pueblo asustado
Y a las mujeres buscaba, mirando por todos lados
Dejaba pueblos enteros, llenos de puros colgados
(Ah, como le gustaba colgar gente
Invitaba a todos sus amigos a una parranda
Y al final de cuentas, los dejaba bien colgados
Con la cuenta, era travieso, travieso)
Después de tantas hazañas, al verlo que se paseaba
Con su caballo tordillo, frente de la plaza de armas
Lo acribillaron a tiros, sin que le pasara nada
Decían que estaba forado, con un chaleco de malla
Las balas le rebotaban, mientras el se carcajeaba
Se iba tranquilo a caballo, sin que nadie le estorbara
(¿Forrado con un chaleco?, forrado de mugre
Nunca se bañaba, por eso no le entraban las balas
La cascara guarda al palo)
Bajaron 3 campesinos, de allá del cerro escondido
Traiban al Ojo de Vidrio, picado de un corralillo
Venia ya muerto el bandido, sobre el caballo tordillo, ajua
Lyrics translation
(Ajua, ajua, eye that does not, heart that does not feel
It said the glass eye and the people's slide
I had only one eye, and not a soul that wanted it, help)
I'm gonna sing the corrido, the road robber
Who was called porphyry, they called him a glass eye
The stubborn did not care, because he did not miss the shot, ajua
(He did not aim with a good eye, because he was short-sighted
But with the glass, he looked with augmentation, a rough lump
He pretended to throw at the mouth of the pitcher, and not throw at him)
He disguised himself as a henchman, to assault the villages
Mocking the government, he killed many soldiers
They only whitened the hills, of Charmed cigars
(Well, they whitened those who betrayed
Those who didn't, they just blacked out.)
Here Comes the glass eye, the frightened people shouted
And the women I looked for, looking everywhere
He left whole villages full of cigars hanging
(Ah, how he liked to hang people
He invited all his friends to a party.
And at the end of the day, he left them hanging tight.
With the bill, he was naughty, naughty)
After so many feats, seeing him walking
With his horse tordillo, in front of the plaza de armas
He was gunned down, nothing happened to him.
They said he was pierced, wearing a mesh vest
The bullets bounced off him, while he laughed.
He went quietly on horseback, without anyone hindering him
(Lined with a vest?, lined with dirt
He never bathed, that's why he couldn't fit the bullets.
The cascara looks at the pole)
3 peasants came down from beyond Cerro escondido
They Betrayed The Glass Eye, chopped from a corralillo
The Bandit was already dead, on the horse tordillo, ajua
