Juan, condemned to walk
with a fool's face for Ixtepec will happen
for there is a dead man near the coast he is going to visit.
Juan, six months it took to arrive
With the step that takes him, another six to return.
Juan, why did Marta bewitch you?
the morena costeñita wanted a Spanish lover.
I feel the footsteps already in my streets
that it's not because of Marta, it's because of me,
The one who travels is my watch.
Come, just feel yourself already
away from people, when many years more
Ixtepec knows that never, nor dead can he stop.
I feel the footsteps already in my streets
It's not because of Marta, it's because of me
The one who travels is my watch.
I feel the footsteps already, another year I pass
It is not the dead, it is like that, life is a cycle.
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
