Lyrics
Voy a cantar un corrido, señores, a un hombre de buena raza
Recordando a un comisario de nombre Arcadio Barraza
Era un sábado de gloria, recuerdo, cuando salió de La Chilla
Su corazón le avisaba que con vida no volvía
Francisco, su hijo, le dijo muy triste «¿dónde te llevo a curar?»
Culiacán o El Comedero, pa' que te puedas salvar
Arcadio le contestaba muy lento «yo ya me estoy acabando»
Llévame pa' La Calera, mi madre me está esperando
Su madre se consolaba y decía divisando aquellos cerros
«Ahí te lo encargo, Diosito, te hacía falta allá en el cielo»
En el panteón de La Ilama, se sabe que ahí su cuerpo descansa
El homenaje se lo hizo su primo Miguel Barraza
17 hijos quedaron muy solos, hay dos mujeres de negro
Sus familiares y amigos nunca volverán a verlo
Lyrics translation
I will sing a corrido, gentlemen, to a man of good race
Remembering a commissar named Arcadio Barraza
It was a Sabbath of glory, I remember, when he came out of the shriek
His heart warned him that with life he would not return
Francis, his son, told him very sad "Where do I take you to heal?»
Culiacan or the feeder, so you can save yourself
Arcadio replied Very Slowly "I am already running out»
Take me pa ' La Calera, my mother is waiting for me
His mother consoled herself and said by spotting those hills
"There I charge you, God, you needed it there in heaven»
In the pantheon of the llama, it is known that there his body rests
The tribute was made by his cousin Miguel Barraza
17 children were left very alone, there are two women in black
Your family and friends will never see you again
