Un Hombre de Negro

In Guadalajara Pearl of the West
To be exact Plaza los Mariachis
A man in black got out of a car
He wanted them to come play at his house with good tequila
And good mariachi, I want my family to be happy today

I gave them the address, phone number, and details
He said they follow me so they don't get lost
I am very happy to be in my homeland
I want a big party tonight

As the well-known saying goes
I must please myself, the world stays there
Entering my house, don't lose sight of me
You start with a handful of dirt
When it's over, you continue with another
My beautiful Mexico and the wooden cross

Don't cry, my chuy

Just as he told them, the mariachi did it
Relatives of the man in black came out
They said we are watching over a deceased
Tell us who sent you or why you came
If we have the soul covered in mourning
At this moment we are suffering
He was a man in black with a stern look
But it seemed like he was happy

They couldn't believe it when they saw the coffin
The one who hired them had been the dead man

Everyone was scared by what was happening
One by one they said goodbye
They apologized and wanted to leave
But the relatives didn't let them
They kept playing all night
And with the mariachi they buried him
