Chito Cano

In the year '71
October was rolling on
In Reynosa, Tamaulipas
As a new day broke
They shot Chito Cano
No one knows who did it

How beautiful are the men
You can't deny that
Even after he fell
He had the strength to speak
Don't run, don't be cowards
Finish me off already

With a bullet in his back
He was still laughing
He didn't think they were so cowardly
Thugs or cops
They hit me from behind
They couldn't face me

Chon García showed up
To talk to the cops
To have Chito killed
It'll be a job for them
Just step out on the road
There'll be plenty of hats

From Reynosa to Matamoros
From Monterrey to Laredo
Be very careful
Agents and gunmen
I'm still Chito Cano
And I'm still not dead

With this, I say goodbye
No grudges, no hard feelings
What you lend comes back
Keep this in mind, gentlemen
If you throw the dagger to the sky
It goes after the traitors
