Corrido De Cananea referencias
Voy a dar un pormenor De lo que a mà me ha pasado, Que me han agarrado preso Siendo un galla tan jugado.
Yo me fui para Agua Prieta A ver quià n me conocÃa Y a las once de la noche Me aprehendió la policia.
Me aprehendieron los gendarmes Al estilo americano, Como un hombre de delito, Todos con pistola en mano.
La cárcel de Cananea Está situada en una Mesa
Y en ella fui procesado Por causa de mi torpeza.
Despedida no la doy Porque no la traigo aquà Se la deje al santo niño Y al señor de Mapimi.
This beautiful corrido (story song) is a favorite of my brother Pete who is el jefe de policia in Tucson. He tells a story about singing this in his police car with one of the regular drunks that he would pick up and either escort to jail or drive home, depending on how much mischief the man had been up to. It is a song from Sonora sung during the Revolutionary war, and I remember my dad and his great compadre, Felipe, singing its many verses late into the night with a good bottle of mexcal for the accompaniment.

Ballad of Cananea
I'm going to detail What happened to me, That they have taken me prisoner Being a well played rooster. (Even though I've been around and should have known better.)
I went to Agua Prieta To see if I had a reputation there And at 11:00 at night The police apprehended me.
They arrested me In the American style, As though I were a criminal All of them with pistol in hand.
The jail of Cananea Is situated on a plateau And in it I was processed On account of my stupidity.
I give you no farewell For I don't have it with me Leave it to the Holy Child And to the Lord of Mapimi.
