El Corrido del Puente

Listen carefully
Hear those who are present

I will tell you what happened
Like in the middle of the bridge

In the town of San Luis
Between life and death

It was June 16
What a significant date

They were taken by a van
With the lights off

And there those who were traveling
Were looking for the man

It was Rosendo Ramírez
Humberto and Patricio Ramos

They were three good friends
Who loved each other like brothers

The roosters that were looking for them
Were some hot-headed ones

They started shooting
They faced each other

Patricio was killed
Being such a brave rooster

Three hot-headed ones fell
Very close together on the bridge

Rosendo later said
With pain and feeling

They killed Patricio
That's what I feel the most

If I manage to even the score
I will die content

Rosendo went back
With the desire to even the score

But he was shot
Which put an end

They took him to Acapulco
He died in the hospital

When he was in the hospital
He was well guarded

A fatal nurse
Maybe to earn a few cents

Went straight to kill him
The government had paid

When Chendo was well
He was a man of courage

Now that he is dead
Take advantage of the occasion

We must live convinced
That the closest friend is a traitor

I'm going to say goodbye
I say goodbye forever

Goodbye everyone, my friends
You lose a brave rooster

You will remember me
When you pass by the bridge
