Masacre en Guerrero
Los Jilgueros Del Pico Real
Massacre in Guerrero
A gruesome massacre
Has happened in Guerrero
Near Huatla Iztayotla
Twenty-four men died
The year is ninety-three
February ninth date
Discord began
The Garcías with the Peñas
They brought good artillery
Two ovens with good firewood
Fifteens and little horns
And good shotguns
The Mare with the Garcías
Killed three of the Peñas
Near Tlacotepec
Grandsons of Don Lucio Peña
The Hurtados from Capire
Also joined in their sorrow
Andrés Delgado and Leonor
Lupe, Bulfrano, and Reinel
Cipriano and Don Eleodoro
And many more that are unknown
Went to Huautla for the burial
To never return again
The beach of the Huautla river
On a Tuesday morning
The most gruesome scene
Broadcasted by Televisa
Many orphaned children
Everyone was crying
The Hurtados were tough
They must remember Tetela
Where Alfonso Hurtado fought
They are cut from the same cloth
But here in this ambush
Impossible to escape
The Garcías have their own
Many people already know
I don't side with any party
I've only come to sing
To both sides I say
May God be with you
Tlacotepec, Municipality
That this tragedy struck
Hundreds of federal agents
Have searched everywhere
Some culprits have been caught
Among them, the Mare is now
