Corrido de Lucio
La Hija Del Mariachi
Ballad of Lucio
The peacocks flew
Heading to the wet mountains
They killed Lucio Vásquez
For a young woman he loved
It was 10 o'clock at night
Lucio was having dinner
Some friends arrived
To invite him to a fandango
His mother told him
His father with more reason
Son, don't go to the dance
My heart warned me
They rode their horses
Heading to the wet mountains
When they arrived at the dance
His rival was already waiting for him
They invited him for some drinks
Lucio didn't want to accept
They exchanged some words
To start a fight
They gave him three stabs
From the back to the heart
As his mother used to say
Betrayal killed him
My Lady of Guadalupe
From the town of Vejerez
Take leave, ma'am
To rise again
After they murdered him
They threw dirt in his mouth
And that's how they saw him die
As it happens to someone
The peacocks flew
Heading to the wet mountains
They killed Lucio Vásquez
For a young woman he loved
