Cipriano Armenteros

In 1806, it was January 16, on the plain, in Veraguas,
Cipriano Armenteros fell: that's how it was!
The people gathered to see when the prisoner returned
escorted by the troops that Manuel Flores commanded.
Some, seeing him wounded, laughed at him and mocked him.
Cipriano, in memory, photographed their faces.

The bandit's men rushed to the rescue.
They passed through Salsipuestas, breaking into the early morning.
Emeterio and Pascual Gómez rode in the vanguard:
Medoro and Eliecer, in the center, Facundo in the rear.

The gang attacked in surprise, galloping their horses.
The people slept, drunk; in Manuel Flores confident.
When the shooting ended, Armenteros was saved.
That's how the old people tell it, that's how Cipriano escaped.

And the earth trembles, Armenteros escaped!
They say he is looking for those who laughed at him.
I don't want to be in those people's shoes, brother!
And the earth trembles, Armenteros escaped!
The windows are closed, they don't open even for money.
All the doors locked with the bolt of fear.
And the earth trembles, Armenteros escaped!
Seeking the reward, they came from abroad.
And when they saw the man, the imported ones ran.

Oh, oh, oh, Armenteros escaped!
Oh, oh, oh, he ran away again!

In the middle of the bullets, Cipriano says that Flores,
When he looked at her face, he wet his pants!

Armenteros escaped, he escaped again!

Riding invincible over time,
go Cipriano and his horse "Flor de Viento".
Legends that made our history,
His fire lighting our memory.
