El Chuma
La Arrolladora Banda El Limon
Lyrics
Translation
El chuma era un hueso duro
The Chuma was a tough nut
La verdad sea por delante
Truth be told
Lástima que no supiera
Too bad he didn't know
Donde vivía el comandante
Where the commander lived
El día que llegó a maderas
The day he arrived in Maderas
Le dijo a unos ganaderos
He told some ranchers
No agradescan la visita
Don't thank for the visit
Solo vine por dinero
I only came for money
La judicial en la sierra
The police in the mountains
Lo quisieron arrestar
They tried to arrest him
Chuma hiso cantar el cuerno
Chuma made the horn sing
Los empezó a corretear
He started chasing them
El solo quería un pretexto
He just wanted an excuse
Pues le gustaba matar
Because he liked to kill
Por asaltos y secuestros
For robberies and kidnappings
Ya le contaban los días
They were counting his days
Nada más porque su cuerno
Only because his horn
Quebró muchos policias
Broked many police
Bonitos los pinos reales
Beautiful royal pines
Mis recuerdos a guainopa
My regards to Guainopa
Y esa sierra divisoria
And that dividing mountain
De chihuahua y de sonora
Between Chihuahua and Sonora
Cuando bajo su avioneta
When his plane descended
Ya lo seguía un pelotón
A squadron was already following him
Chuma hiso cantar el cuerno
Chuma made the horn sing
Pero esta vez le falló
But this time he failed
Y aquel corrido termina
And that corrido ends
La muerte se lo llevó
Death took him away
