Silvano Gracia

On the 3rd of November,
What a significant day,
They killed 3 from Guerrero,
The tough guys from the other side.

They left from Guerrero,
With tequila and friends,
The direction they were heading,
Was the notorious San Diego.

Upon reaching Rio Grande,
They started to think,
Is it good to take Leandro
Because we are only two.

They invited Leandro,
Leandro said no,
Look, I'm sick,
And I wouldn't want to go like this.

After much pleading,
Leandro went with them,
And on the hill of Miranda,
He was the first to die.

They shot him 3 times,
They must have known,
Geronimo fell dead,
Silvano very badly wounded.

They asked for his name,
Also for his address,
My name is Silvano Gracia,
I'm from China, Nuevo Leon.

Silvano with three bullets,
Still kept talking,
Kill me, cowardly tough guys,
Stop asking me.

The captain of the tough guys,
Approached Silvano,
And in a few seconds,
Silvano Gracia died.

With this, I bid farewell,
On my horse Lucero,
They killed three fine roosters,
From the little town of Guerrero.
