Medios Hermanos - Joan Sebastian

José y Alejandro no crecieron juntos

Por esas cosas de humanos

La mera verdad parecian gemelos

Pero eran medios hermanos

Hoy voy a cantarles y asi he de contarles

Como empezo la discordia

Por una Isabel que los dos conocieron

Y los dos hicieron novia

Decia la muchacha, decia sin desfacha

Que ella a los dos amaba

Y que al principio creyo que eran uno

Ay que equivocada estaba

Una tarde junto al rio

Sobre los lomos de un potro

José apasionado besaba a la «Chabe»

Y en eso que llega el otro

«Y Ave María Chabelita

Que problemon»

Muy grande coraje cargaba Alejandro

Tambien muy grande cuchillo

Un odio en el alma que le habia infundido

Su madre desde chiquillo

Sobre la pareja lanzo su caballo

Cayendo los tres al rio

El agua teñida con la misma sangre

Chabela sola y con frio

Oiganme madres celosas

Que triste se oye esta historia

Dos medios hermanos que no se quisieron

Que Dios los tenga en su Gloria

José and Alejandro did not grow up together

For those human things

The mere truth they looked like twins

But they were half brothers

Today I am going to sing to you and so I have to tell you

How did the discord start?

For an Isabel that the two knew

And the two made a girlfriend

The girl said, she said without shame

that she loved them both

And that at first I thought they were one

Oh, she was wrong, she was

An afternoon by the river

On the back of a colt

Passionate José kissed the «Chabe»

And in that the other arrives

«And Ave Maria Chabelita

what a problem»

Very great courage carried Alejandro

also very big knife

A hatred in the soul that had instilled in him

His mother of him since he was a child

On the couple he launched his horse

The three falling into the river

The water dyed with the same blood

Chabela alone and cold

Hear me jealous mothers

How sad this story sounds

Two half brothers who did not love each other

May God have them in his Glory
