lyrics

Soy el senor Jose Lepe
y quiero hacerle un corrido
a una hermanita que tuve
sin haberla conocido
mi madre nunca nos dijo
de lo que habia sucedido

Al casarse con mi padre
tuvo su primer criatura
hay gente que nos platica
con tristeza y amargura
que un descuido de mi madre
la mando a la sepultura

La nina tenia dos anos
cuando nacio mi otro hermano
mi madre se fue a traer agua
al arroyo mas cercano
la nina quedo en peligro
y nadie le echo una mano

Uno nueve cuatro y ocho
fue un ano de mala suerte
la nina le puso fuego
a una hornilla de juguete
se le prendio su vestido
y eso le causo la muerte

Los vecinos escucharon
cuando la nina gritaba
lo primero que pensaron
que mi mama le pegaba
y en vez de correr dijeron
mira que mujer tan brava

Una vez oi a mi padre
comentarselo a un amigo
que por no estar el presente
su hija murio sin auxilio
en Suelos Duros, Jalisco
ranchito donde yo vivo

Voy a dejar el escrito
a ver si aprende la gente
a retirar del peligro
a los ninos inocentes
perdon madre si te ofendo
yo se que fue un accidente


English Translation:

I am Mr. Jose Lepe
And I want to sing a corrido
To a little sister I had
Without ever meeting her
My mother never told us
Of what had occurred

After marrying my father
They had their first child
There are people who tell us
With sadness and bitterness
That an oversight by my mother
Sent her to her grave

The girl was two years old
When my brother was born
My mother went to gather water
From the nearest stream
Leaving the child in danger
And nobody gave her a hand

One nine four and eight
Was a year of bad luck
The child tried to light up
A toy stove
Her dress catching fire
Causing her death

The neighbors heard it all
As the child screamed
But the first thought that came to their minds
Was that my mother was hitting her
And instead of going to help her they said
That woman is mean

Once I heard my father
Comment to a friend
That because he was not there
His daughter died without any help
In Suelos Duros, Jalisco
The small ranch where I live

I’ll leave it written
Hoping that people will learn
To keep innocent children
Away from danger
I’m sorry mother if I offend you
I know that it was an accident
