Corrido de Piedad Ayala

A horse at the high school
A band to dance to
The company of my children
Who are sacred to me
The years bring good times
And time is witness to how I've struggled

As a child, I didn't go to school
I just made my way in life
The need is strong
And poverty is tough
At 14 years old
I crossed the border to make a living

Respect towards people
Effort and hard work
Managed to give me the life
That I had once dreamed of
Now at different levels
I remain humble because I haven't changed

Little Mark, I don't forget you
May God have you in heaven
Life deals some blows
And in my heart, I carry you
Your brothers will remember you
Friends and family, we won't forget you

By the way, I'm from Michoacán
And proud of my people
La Piedad is my little ranch
And it always stays in my mind
I never expect anything in return
If there's no commitment, I help my people

Saddle up my horse
The 2 of hearts is my favorite
To the sound of a band
I relax at my little ranch
My name is Piedad Ayala
And here in California, you have a friend
