Duelo de Valientes

How sad my friends are
For what I'm going to sing
They were the witnesses
Of the tragedy at the altar

I recognized in Erasmo
A serious and formal man
From Don Renato's ranch
He was the best foreman

Vicente was daring
But with a big heart
Leonor, the town's flower
Made him lose his mind

They met face to face
Leonor was beautiful
And as Vicente stopped her
He wanted to dishonor her

But Leonor replied
I have to be with Erasmo
A friend is respected
You should know that

Vicente shouted violently
If you don't come with me
By holy God, I'm not lying
Nor will you be for him

Vicente, very daring
Fired two shots
She fell dead senseless
But she died a virgin

Then he went to find Erasmo
And Erasmo replied
And in that shootout
Finally, Vicente fell

In the shade of a peach tree
I will sing a ballad
About Vicente and Erasmo
Great friends from the altar
