El Corrido de Everardo

How have you been Everardo
I heard they had you sit down
In a wheelchair
Because of some gunshots
And that you were in a coma
As I had been informed...

I realize it's true now
I'm surprised
I don't share your sadness
And you know the reasons
I had planned to kill you
But I prefer you alive...

Where are those bosses
That you were a gunman for
That implacable power
Those nerves of steel
That you always boasted about
You said you were the first...

Look, Mr. Commander
I appreciate your compliment
And good intentions
But you haven't understood
That from where I am
I can shoot you down...

That courage you speak of
You know I still have it
And the big friendships
Sent me gunmen
To cut off your head
To make me Pedro...

Under this zarape
That you see on my legs
I carry the same gun
That in that shootout
Made you and all your people run...

With this same gun
I'm going to send you to hell
And on the day I die
I don't want to see you again
Because right there in hell
I'll kill you again....
