Carrera Contra La Muerte
Los Tigres del Norte
Race Against Death
He wanted to beat death
He wanted to win the race
Three years without seeing her
And he didn't reach her
On a wooden cross
I hang up my white shoes
That the wedding day
He promised her
I raise my eyes to the sky
And I shouted I love you
I am the foreigner
That he finally returned
I bring you a lot of money
The people of the town say
That from wanting it so much
She died
Under his portrait
She spread out her white dress
And drowned in tears
His voice was heard
(If when I asked for your hand
We arrived almost naked
To the altar of the church
And I drag my pride
I remember that because we were poor
We couldn't have a party
You wanted a white dress
And I promised you
Even if it's late, I'll leave it there for you
I hope that in the next life
The world should be more equal
Because I am without your love
I won't die of old age)
Another day in the morning
The foreigner rose
Your child and your dog
And he said goodbye
With great pain he saw the earth
Where he lived his misery
And because of her
His beloved died
At the pace of his horse
They were praying a rosary
For the novena of the one I adore
On the hillside
A gilguero was heard singing
They say that she sang to them from heaven
He wanted to beat death
He wanted to win the race
Three years without seeing her
And he didn't reach her
