Corrido Del Espectro de Zapata

Gentlemen, I'm going to sing
A horrible event
That few will have known
And many will ignore

In Cuautla, Morelos, there was
A very unique man
Who under his command had
The people of the place

He was loved by the neighbors
He was seen as a leader
And there's not one who would
Let him be taken off his path

It's fair to say it now
Speaking plainly
He was Emiliano Zapata
Very beloved over there

His fame (sad, indeed)
Crossed the Americas
And the world was surprised
To learn that he was killed

The squirrels and the gophers
The hares and even the badger
His traps and skirmishes
Were his best lesson

Let the neighbors say
Who never raised hairs
If he knew the paths
Of all Cuautla Morelos

The federals wanted
To catch him and got tired
The Maderistas followed
And also didn't achieve it

Huerta, who was very bold
Was on his heels
But the other showed him
That he had many... Guts

And finally, the current government
Without beating around the bush
Gave him a bowl of... Noodles
And sent him to hell

His body was finally buried
Full of jubilation and joy
And many, many cried
For their faults and rest

But his soul perseveres
In his
