Generous And Carmelita

Generoso Y Carmelita

I'm going to start with this corrido, running the year 57,Voy a empezar con este corrido, corriendo el año 57,
In a small town of come and go, it has happenedEn un pueblito de llega y vete, ha sucedido

A stranger arrived in that town,Llego a ese pueblo un desconocido,
Very well dressed, and with a truck,Muy bien plantado, y con camioneta,
But he was armed with a machine gun, and cautiousMás iba armado de metralleta, y precavido

The daring man asked for the girlfriend,Pidió la novia el muy atrevido,
They answered him, in a short time,Le respondieron, en corto plazo,
And for him it was like a shot, receivedY para el fue como un balazo, recibido

As there are young men all over Mexico,Como hay muchachos en todo méxico,
Who without hesitation, when they are young,Que sin dudarlo, cuando son pollos,
Are allergic to marriage,Al matrimonio le son alérgicos,
And when old, they want a young girlY ya de viejo, quieren pimpollo

He was drunk by night,Ya por la noche andaba tomado,
And threatened to kill several,Y amenazo con matar a varios,
But the opponents got ahead of him,Más le madrugaron los contrarios,
With soldiersCon soldados

Today he is imprisoned in Ciudad Victoria,Hoy esta preso en ciudad victoria,
Because they accused him of several deaths,Porque le achacaron varias muertes,
Could it be the bad luck,Tendría la culpa la mala suerte,
Of his storyDe su historia

Rise up, white doveLevanta el vuelo, blanca palomita
And up in the sky, write the corridoY allá en el cielo, escribe el corrido
Of Generous and CarmelitaDe generoso y de carmelita
So they may find peace and forgetfulnessPara que encuentren la paz y olvido
