El Melon
Banda La Quimicheña
The Melon
I'm going to write some verses
I have the pen in my hand
They already killed the melon, companion of the gypsy
On the 21st of August
I have it present
In the ranch of Paso Hondo, a great tragedy occurred
The police came down on them
And the melon was going to learn
But he killed first
Don Salvador Rangel
Poor Tomas Castañeda
Who woke up to gunshots
With his gun in hand, he got off the platform
He got off the platform
Already with his bad intentions
And upon finding his rival
They shot at the same time
Chief of the police
Who was carrying it safely
But oh, he made a mistake, he found the tough barrier
Tomas Castañeda said
In this duel, there is revenge
Goodbye town of Tecuala and ranch of San Felipe
State of Nayarit
Without a doubt, it has brave men
Who, when needed
Don't boast of being damned
Eluterio Verdin said
As it was to happen
I fell into the hands of the melon
For fulfilling my duty
Fly, little dove, fly
Land on that lemon
These are the morning songs of the famous melon
