El moro de cumpras
Antonio Aguilar
The Moor from Cumpas
On March 17th
To the city of Agua Prieta
People came from everywhere
They came for the lightning race
And the Moor had two first-class horses
The Moor of Pedro Frizby
Was from the town of Cumpas
Very beautiful and very fast
The lightning was a sorrel
And it was a cherished horse
Of its owner Rafael Romero
When they paraded the Moor
It looked so beautiful
And they started to bet
Everyone said
That horse was
Specially here to win
Checks, bills, and pesos
Abounded for the one from Cumpas
On Sunday morning
In the afternoon the bets
Exceeded one hundred thousand pesos
In that Copa Cabana
Frank and Jesus Valenzuela
Bet fifteen thousand pesos
With Romero's sorrel
And Pullo Morales said
I think with the Moor
They will win all the money
Trini Ramirez was around
Also Chino Valenzuela
Parading the horses
Two belt racers
Two seekers of triumph
Both were good roosters
Finally, they gave the signal
And the Moor took the lead
With the intention to win
Ramirez pushed the sorrel
And on the middle stretch
Left the Moor behind
Leonardo Yañez, the Nano
Composer of the corrido
Apologizes to everyone
Here doubts ended
The sorrel from Agua Prieta won
And the Moor from Cumpas lost
