Arnulfo Gonzalez

From afar he said goodbye
At 21 full years
He left pleasant memories
To the town and the country folks

Arnulfo was sitting
When a countryman passed by
He said, 'Hey, what are you looking at?'
The view is very natural

The countryman, very angry
Hit him in the face
With a gun in hand
He threatened him with death

Arnulfo stood up
Calling his attention
'Hey, friend, don't go away
I need my answer'

They started shooting
They faced each other
Arnulfo with his gun
Gave three shots to the lieutenant

The lieutenant, badly wounded
Almost dying
He said, 'Hey, don't go
Finish me off'

Arnulfo turned back
To shoot him in the forehead
But as he turned around
The lieutenant shot him

Arnulfo, very badly wounded
Was flying in a car
On the way to the hospital
Arnulfo was dying

The lieutenant was a tough guy
He had proven himself
But he met a tough one
Who wasn't playing around

With this, I bid farewell
To peaceful folks and countrymen
Here ends the ballad
Of the lieutenant and Gonzalez
