Los Originales De San Juan's song "Corrido a Mi Hermano Pancho" is a heartfelt tribute to a beloved brother who played a pivotal role in the singer's life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Pancho, who stepped into the role of a father figure after their own father passed away. The song is steeped in nostalgia and sorrow, reflecting on the deep bond shared between the siblings and the immense impact Pancho had on their lives.
The song begins by reminiscing about Pancho's supportive nature and his decision to move the family from Jalisco to a better place.

His sudden diagnosis and subsequent death from cancer are described with a poignant sense of loss and grief, highlighting the emotional toll it took on the family, especially their mother.
The lyrics also emphasize Pancho's pride in his heritage and his love for his homeland. The mention of his signature checkered shirt and his wish to be taken back to Arandas after his death underscores his deep connection to his roots. The song concludes with a mix of sadness and pride, as the singer expresses confidence that Pancho and their father are watching over them from heaven. This corrido serves not only as a eulogy for Pancho but also as a celebration of his life and the values he embodied.
