Lyrics
Juan se lanzo marchandose al norte
iba en busca de una vida digna
cruzando Mexico por valles y por montes
iba Juan lleno de fe.
La historia es que Juan se iba a casar
con Maria embarazada
pero el no tenia ni un centavo
ni un clavo que darle.
Pero este Juan iba muy decidido
y a la frontera el llego con todo el filo.
Se conecto con el mero mayor de los coyotes
y la historia le conto:
Mire usted que yo quiero cruzarme ya a San Diego o Chicago,
digame usted lo que hago
que precio le pago.
Juan ya nunca regreso,
en la linea se quedo,
pobre Juan
o la migra lo mato
o el desierto lo enterro,
pobre Juan.
Oh, oh, oh, oh Juan le enseno al coyote
una foto de Maria
con la cual se casaria,
le prometio que el regresaria
para formar todo un hogar.
Pero el coyoto a Juan lo traiciono
dejandolo al olvido,
de tres balas se tronaron a Juan,
pobre de Juan,
no regreso
no, oh.
Juan ya nunca regreso,
en la linea se quedo,
pobre Juan
o la migra lo mato
o el desierto lo enterro,
pobre Juan
y Maria lo fue a buscar
y ella nunca lo encontro,
desaparecio,
oh…
Lyrics translation
Juan launched marchandose to the North
I was looking for a decent life
crossing Mexico through valleys and mountains
John was full of faith.
The story is that John was going to get married
with Maria pregnant
but he didn't have a dime.
not a nail to give him.
But this John was very determined
and to the border he came with all the edge.
He connected with the mere major of the coyotes
and the story told him:
Look, I want to cross into San Diego or Chicago.,
you tell me what I do
what a price I pay you.
Juan's never coming back.,
on the line stayed,
poor Juan
or migrate kill him
or the desert bury him,
poor Juan.
Oh, oh, oh, oh Juan taught the coyote
a photo of Maria
to whom he would marry,
I promised him he'd come back.
to form a whole home.
But the coyote betrayed John
leaving it to oblivion,
three bullets struck John,
poor Juan,
I'm not coming back.
no, oh.
Juan's never coming back.,
on the line stayed,
poor Juan
or migrate kill him
or the desert bury him,
poor Juan
and Maria went to look for him
and she never found him,
disappear,
Oh…
