Corrido de Lucio Vazquez
Cuco Sanchez
Ballad of Lucio Vazquez
The peacocks flew
Heading to the wet mountain they killed Lucio Vazquez
For a young woman he loved
The peacocks flew
Heading to the wet mountain they killed Lucio Vazquez
For a young woman he loved
At nine o'clock at night
Lucio was already having dinner and some friends arrived
To invite him to a fandango
At nine o'clock at night
Lucio was already having dinner and some friends arrived
To invite him to a fandango
His mother told him
Son of my heart don't go my dear son
Beware of betrayal, my heart tells me
Don't cry, dear mother
Your crying makes me suffer because I'm going to see the ungrateful one
The one who knows I love so much
Don't cry, dear mother
Your crying makes me suffer because I'm going to see the ungrateful one
The one who knows I love so much
They saddled the horses
Heading to the wet mountain but Lucio didn't know
The betrayal that awaited him
They saddled the horses
Heading to the wet mountain but Lucio didn't know
The betrayal that awaited him
When they arrived at the dance
Everyone was dancing, the ungrateful one was there too
The one Lucio loved so much
When they arrived at the dance
Everyone was dancing, the ungrateful one was there too
The one Lucio loved so much
They offered him some drinks
Which he didn't want to accept, they started arguing
And ended up fighting
They offered him some drinks
Which he didn't want to accept, they started arguing
And ended up fighting
They gave him three stabs
From the back to the heart as his mother said
He was killed in betrayal
They gave him three stabs
From the back to the heart as his mother said
He was killed in betrayal
The three who stabbed him
Sat down to smoke, laughing
Hearing Lucio moan
The three who stabbed him
Sat down to smoke, laughing
Hearing Lucio moan
The three who stabbed him
Went towards the pasture, walking very slowly
The three cleaning their steel
The three who stabbed him
Went towards the pasture, walking very slowly
The three cleaning their steel
The peacocks flew
Heading to the wet mountain they killed Lucio Vazquez
For a young woman he loved
The peacocks flew
Heading to the wet mountain they killed Lucio Vazquez
For a young woman he loved
