lyrics

Voy a cantar el corrido
de Luis Anaya Fregoso
se le acabo la existencia
un dia que limpiaba un pozo
siendo el hombre precavido
entro a lo mas peligroso

Metio hasta el fondo del pozo
la pompa de gasolina
no pudo darse la idea
esta persona tan fina
que con los gases del humo
un pozo se contamina

Con el cuerpo sin controles
quiso subir la escalera
y cuando estaba en peligro
no habia nadie que lo viera
y los planes que tenia
salieron de otra manera

Cayo al fondo de cabeza
con la sangre envenenada
no pudo alcanzar la mano
cuando su hija se la daba
le faltaban escalones
a la escalera mentada

Maldito pozo artesano
que ya no te hagan confianza
te llevastes a un paisano
por culpa de una estramancia
que puso para limpiarte
y no midio la distancia

No todo el tiempo la muerte
anda en balas de casquillo
mirenle bien los disfraces
porque no ensena el colmillo
adios al Rodeo Jalisco
municipio de Atenguillo



English Translation:

I’m going to sing the corrido
Of Luis Anaya Fregoso
His life ended
One day as he cleaned a well
Being a pre-cautious man
He walked into the mouth of danger

Up to the end of the well he placed
The gasoline pump
This refined person
Did not foresee
That with the gases from smoke
The well becomes polluted

Losing control of his body
He tried to climb the ladder
In the middle of danger
No one could see him
And the plans he had made
Turned out differently

He fell in headfirst
His blood poisoned
He could not reach for the hand
That his daughter stretched out for him
Some steps were missing
From the mentioned ladder

Damned artesian well
Let no one trust you again
You took a fellow compatriot
Because of the substance
That he used to clean you
But did not measure the distance

Death does not always come
Encased in bullet shells
Look closely at all its disguises
Because he won’t show his fangs
Goodbye to Rodeo Jalisco
In the town of Atenguillo
