Lyrics
Voy a cantar un corrido de un amigo de mi tierra
Mataron en copalqui al valiente de la sierra
Un lunes por la mañana le dijo así a sus criaturas
Ya me voy pa' copalqui arreglar unas facturas
Cuando llegó a copalqui Adrián andaba tomando
La música era de viento la que le andaban tocando
Cuando lo vieron venir lo invitaron a tomar
Aquí tu tienes dinero el que tu quieras gastar
Rodríguez les contestó componiendose el sombrero
Pa' pasearme en este rancho no necesito dinero
Adrián le dijo a Abelaido, hombre vete previniendo
Hay que matar a Rodríguez traigo ordenes del gobierno
Abelaido le contesta: no te vallas a dormir
Si Rodriguez se da cuenta, nos vamos a divertir
Mandó tocar la canción, «Catarino y los rulares»
Cuando iban a media pieza comenzaron a tirarle
Por el filo de la sierra los pinos se oyen llorar
De ver a Cándido muerto que lo llevan a enterrar
Lyrics translation
I'm going to sing a corrido from a friend of my land
In copalqui They Killed The Valiant of the sierra
One Monday morning he said so to his creatures
I'm going to fix some bills.
When he arrived in copalqui Adrian was taking
The music was the wind that they were playing
When they saw him coming they invited him to drink
Here you have money that you want to spend
Rodriguez answered them by composing the hat
To walk around this ranch I don't need any money
Adrian said to Abelaido, man go and warn
We have to kill Rodriguez. I bring orders from the government.
Abelaido replies: Don't go to sleep
If Rodriguez finds out, we're gonna have fun.
He had the song played, "Catarino y los rulares»
When they were going to half a piece they started throwing him
By the edge of the Saw The Pines can be heard crying
To see Candido dead that lead him to bury
