Corrido a Alvaro Obregon
Corridos Mexicanos
Ballad to Alvaro Obregon
In 1880 a man of valor was born
Who ended the violence
That existed in the revolution
His strong name I say
General Alvaro Obregon
His valor was well seen
On the battlefield
Outstanding strategist, gift of command
That does not remain silent
He held the presidency of the country
With great honor
Intelligent politician
With energy he governed
Son of a farmer
He helped in the tasks
But because of his great soul
The farmer changed
The plow for weapons
And fought for justice
I remember you and thank you
For your great valor and dedication
After fighting for ten years
To make your country worthy
General Obregon, your memory
Is in history
We all bid farewell
May you be in glory
I dedicate these verses
All of them to your memory
