Benjamin Arguilero

To start singing,
To start singing,
I ask for permission first.

Gentlemen, it's the mornings,
Gentlemen, it's the mornings,
Of Benjamin Arguilero.

They took him down through the mountains,
They took him down through the mountains,
All tied up like a firecracker.

They pass him through San Miguel,
They pass him through San Miguel,
They take him to Sombrerete.

Listen, my general,
Listen, my general,
I too was a brave man.

I want you to shoot me,
I want you to shoot me,
Publicly in front of people.

(Music)

So much fighting and fighting,
So much fighting and fighting,
With the Mauser in hand.

I came to die by firing squad,
I came to die by firing squad,
In the cemetery of Durango.

Goodbye also to the clock,
Goodbye also to the clock,
Its hours tormented me.

Because they clearly told me,
Because they clearly told me,
The hours I was lacking.

With this, I bid farewell,
With this, I bid farewell,
Because I can't sing anymore.

Gentlemen, it's the mornings,
Gentlemen, it's the mornings,
Of Benjamin Arguilero.
