El gringo y el mexicano

Sipriano and Rosa Maria
leave their son in charge
and like wetbacks,
they cross to the other side.
Soon, they found work,
around McAllen.
She is very young and beautiful,
and he is one of the men who are worth it.
The gringo, owner of the ranch,
likes the woman instantly.
It was out of fear or threat
but he made her his lover.
Someone warns Sipriano,
and he, like a wounded beast,
with a knife in hand,
takes both their lives.
He kills the gringo first,
she was scared and screaming,
if I didn't give him my body,
immigration would kick us out.
But Sipriano, judging,
was avenging his wife.
He spent twenty years in prison,
today when crossing the border
on the Mexican side,
a young man awaits him.
