Corrido de Lucio Vazquez
Adan Chalino Sanchez
Ballad of Lucio Vazquez
The peacocks flew towards the wet mountains
They killed Lucio Vazquez for a woman he loved
At eleven o'clock at night when Lucio was having dinner
Some friends arrived to invite him to a party
His mother would tell him, my heart warns me, son don't go to the dance
Beware of betrayal
Don't cry, dear mother, your crying torments me, I'm going to dance with the young woman
That you know I adore so much
They rode their horses towards the wet mountains where the young woman was
That Lucio adored so much
When they arrived at the dance, Lucio didn't want to drink, one invited him to a drink
Another stabbed him with a knife
They gave him two stabs from the back to the heart, just like his mother told him
He was killed in betrayal
The peacocks flew towards the wet mountains
They killed Lucio Vazquez for a woman he loved
