El Corrido de Los Morales
Los Segundos Del Norte
The Ballad of the Morales
Year of forty-four
Misfortunes that happened
In Romita, Guanajuato
Antonio and Andres died
They were walking in the garden
Strolling in the arcades
Antonio says to Andres
The Morales are around here
They had a few drinks
They went out to the bridge
Antonio says to Andres
I think I'm the bravest
As they left the little bridge
Antonio shouts at them
Stop there, fancy horses
Here is your daddy
Porfirio replied
I can't believe that
If my father has died
Only if he comes back to life
They started shooting
Two or three got involved
The first one to fall
Was the famous Andres
The beautiful thing that was heard
The gunshots
Don Manuel's Super
Seemed like a machine gun
Where are you, Ricardo Montes
You who are so famous
And when the shots rang out
You ran like a deer
With this, I bid farewell
Walking in the wheat fields
The Olgines have died
They were killed by the Morales
