Juan Colorado me llaman
Soy senores de Michoacán
Y hasta los mas salidores
Al mirarme mustios se van
Traigo en mi cuaco una silla
Que es de cuero plata y marfil
Y dos pistolas al cinto
Para aquel que no entre al redil
Que viva mi tierra Michoacán!
Y denme Charanda pa' brindar
Que Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Montando en su cuaco el Huracán
Que viva mi tierra Michoacán!
Y denme Charanda pa' brindar
Que Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Montando en su cuaco el Huracán
Siempre buscando aventuras
En mi cuaco cruzo veloz
Y en cada pueblo que paso
Dejo siempre vivo un amor
Cuando me encuentro a un valiente
Que de frente quiera pelear
Con mi pistola o machete
Por mi suerte yo he de ganar
Que viva mi tierra Michoacán
Y denme Charanda pa' brindar
Que Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Montando en su cuaco el Huracán
Que viva mi tierra Michoacán
Y denme Charanda pa' brindar
Que Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Montando en su cuaco el Huracán
Por las montanas y valles
Voy deseoso con ciego afan
Por esos valles floridos
De mi tierra que es Michoacán
Ya se va Juan Colorado
Ya los vino aqui a saludar
Y el que me busque me encuentra
Por el rumbo de Apatzingan
Que viva mi tierra Michoacán
Y denme Charanda pa' brindar
Que Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Montando en su cuaco el Huracán
Que viva mi tierra Michoacán
Y denme Charanda pa' brindar
Que Juan Colorado aqui esta ya
Montando en su cuaco el Huracán
