Todos atentos, señores
Everyone pay attention, gentlemen
Que voy a cantarles
Because I'm going to sing to you
Un nuevo corrido
A new ballad
De un hombre que era valiente
About a man who was brave
Alegre y decente de eso soy testigo.
Cheerful and decent, I am a witness to that.
Con las damas, caballeros

Amigo sincero

Fue de los, mejores
He was one of the best
Entre las hembras hermosas
Among the beautiful women
Se gano su apodo
He earned his nickname
El bandido de amores.
The bandit of loves.
Cuando el bandido llegaba
When the bandit arrived
La banda tocaba "gabino barrera"

Porque era indio sureño

Y padre de muchos
And father of many
Frontera a frontera.

Un día domingo en mi pueblo

Conoce una chula

Saliendo de misa
Coming out of mass
Reverencio su sombrero

Y la chula coqueta
And the flirtatious girl
Con el se desliza.

Ya por la noche en la feria

Andaba en sus brazos
He walked in her arms
Estando pedida

No imaginaba mi amigo

Que por esa hembra

Perdiera la vida.
He would lose his life.
Cuando el bandido bailaba

Dice al cantinero

Mi novia me espera.

Luego se va para el baile
Then he goes to the dance
Descubre a la ingrata

Allá entre la bola
There among the crowd
Se le acerco por la espalda

Y contra el bandido
And against the bandit
Vació su pistola.

El novio ya esta en la cárcel

El bandido, muerto

Y la coqueta sola

El bandido, muerto

Y la coqueta sola.
