El Corrido de los Pérez

In nineteen eleven,
I will explain very well,
they killed two brothers
and a cousin as well.
On Thursday, April twentieth
around three in the afternoon,
Don Mariano Perez died
at the hands of a coward.
Such unfortunate races,
those races on the hill,
lost lives and horses,
and lost their money.

JUST DON'T CRY, BUDDY!!!
Monico de Luna,
was the one who lit the fuse,
and with the first shots,
he was the first to run.
Gabino Perez said,
very firm in his reasons,
I also die on the line,
I'm not a coward's breed.
Isidro Perez told him,
leave it be for peace,
for it would benefit us,
let's not say more by God.
Gabino Perez said,
they hit us unfairly,
if they had spoken honestly,
another story would be told.
Isidro fell to the south,
Jesus fell to the north,
Mariano to the east,
like painting a cross.
Fly, fly little dove,
fly beloved dove,
tell the father of The Pérez,
that here his life ended.!
