El General y el Sargento
Valentín Elizalde
The General and the Sergeant
In a forgotten little town, there's a hidden grave
that no one has visited, believe it or not
I'm going to tell you about the life of a retired General
Trinidad was his name and Reyes his last name
he knew how to handle weapons, at the edge of his trigger
many lost their lives, Parral witnessed that
with orders to arrest him, Luis Garcia was sent
you only bring me flowers, and we still need to see
who of the two needs the 4 lit candles.
Garcia remained silent, but then he said
before becoming a soldier, he already knew the rules
forgive me, General, is this your life or mine?
They looked at each other for a moment, everything fell silent
and the General grabbed the Sergeant by the neck
everything happened so violently, that one of them fell
Only one shot was heard, the bullet whistled in the wind
Reyes tried to shoot but failed in the attempt
the General fell dead, the Sergeant was faster.
