Eran Cuatro De A Caballo

There were four on horseback

There were four on horseback from that royal Mapimí
Fleeing from the posse, they hid over there.

Pancho was the cruelest and bloodiest of those four
Once he killed a priest while he was praying the rosary
And Mariano, for his pleasure, how many towns he set on fire
And to be happier, he derailed trains.

There were four on horseback from that royal Mapimí (Mapimí is a remote municipality in Durango, Mx)
And since they were very treacherous, they hid over there.

Guillermo liked to steal maidens
Offering them glory with the moon and the stars
And we had Felipe, a very astute bandit
Who dreamed of the big heist of stealing the cathedral.

There were four on horseback from that royal Mapimí
Fleeing from the posse, they hid over there.

Mariano, here comes the train, are you going to derail it?
Francisco, leave that priest, don't kill him
Have mercy, Guillermo, on that young virgin
Where will you hide her, Felipe, if you steal the cathedral?

There were four on horseback from that royal Mapimí
May God have mercy on them, for they were all killed there.
