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.
