El Ladrón Solitario

I'm gonna sing a ballad
About a case that happened
On February 10th
A tragedy occurred

The officer on the road
Was killed by a thief
The officer on the road
Was killed by a thief

Joaquín goes to Cuilapa
To service his car
He came back in a taxi
But he was overconfident

He never imagined
That death was waiting for him
He never imagined
That death was waiting for him

He was arriving at my stop
The driver was already scared
He told the passengers
That the robber was there

The officer said
Stop, I'm gonna arrest you
The officer said
Stop, I'm gonna arrest you

The officer very brave
Got out of the taxi
Asked for his ID
And Félix didn't refuse

I'm the commander of the checkpoint
And I have my .32
I'm the commander of the checkpoint
And I have my .32

The officer said
You can't carry that weapon
He took him by the hand
And tried to handcuff him

Félix pulled out his gun
Shot him twice
The officer very brave
Fired his gun

Leaving him dead right there
And the wounded man remained
Leaving him dead right there
And the wounded man remained

The officer was in critical condition
The taxi took him
To the Ometepec thrones
To try to heal him

The regional hospital
Couldn't save him
The regional hospital
Couldn't save him

Those men killed each other
They were brave men

The officer from Durango
And Félix Santiago from the checkpoint
The officer from Durango
And Félix Santiago from the checkpoint

I'm gonna say goodbye
I sang you this ballad
About the officer on the road
And the lone thief
About the officer on the road
And the lone thief
