Corrido de Los Mendoza
Beto Quintanilla
Ballad of the Mendozas
White land estate
You became very famous
Memory through time
When the Mendozas lived
Jose Francisco was the name
Of that rich landowner
And Juan stole a horse
From the tip of a herd
When the law caught them
With the crime scene
He took down 5 rurales
All by himself
I have two left in the chamber
Three in the belt
I managed to take four
Before I died
With a bullet in the chest
It was impossible to escape
Juan save yourself if you can
The blood wants to drown me
Impossible to leave you
Or here we both stay
One cannot live so much
Against God's laws
Death is taking me
I would like to make a will
What I stole from the rich
Doesn't even reach 10 percent
They killed the Mendozas
The estate was left alone
They didn't see where they went
No one knew with the ball
