El Corrido de Los Perez
Los Cadetes de Linares
The Corrido Of The Pérez
In 1911
Let me tell you nice and clear
They killed two brothers
And a beloved cousin too
Such unfortunate races
Those hill races
They lost their lives and horses
And their fortune
It was Don Nico de Luna
Who started the fight
And at the first shots
He was the first to run
Isidro Pérez would say
Let's put an end to this fight
For peace would suit us better
For God's sake, I ask for nothing more
But Mariano Pérez replied
Firm in his conviction
I'll die here on the line
I'm not a son of cowards
Mariano Pérez declared
They attacked us unfairly
If it had been on equal terms
It would’ve ended a whole lot differently
Isidro fell to the south
Jesus fell to the north
Mariano to the east
A cross-shaped course
Such unfortunate races
Those hill races
They lost their lives and horses
And their fortune
Fly, fly, little dove
Fly away, dear dove
Tell the Pérez father
That their lives ended here
