Contrabando Perdido
Ramón Ayala Y Sus Bravos Del Norte
Lost Contraband
with everyone's permission I'm going to start singing...
to tell you the events of a federal agent who
was Cuahutemoc Miranda killed by a customs officer
at the Ochoa checkpoint in the municipality of Camargo
the sealers were performing their duties
when a federal agent arrived asking for the boss
Corporal Polo Villarreal, in charge of the service
asked very calmly
what can I do for you, my friend, I'm the officer on duty
to serve you, he said
I'm a federal agent, he replied arrogantly
and I want to inform you about the contraband they're carrying
the trucks are going to pass, tell your colleagues
like upright men, the corporal replied
you can't pass like this, what about my role
remember that men... are justified by honor
the agent quickly drew his gun
but they say the customs officer was more violent
he shot 7 times and the agent fell dead
I bid you farewell with this, but I want your attention never
to use force when someone is right, the man
who is honorable will respond with courage
