Lyrics
Estado de Michoacán, ya casi iba a anochecer
Se oyeron cuatro balazos y la gente corrió a ver
Dos hombres estaban muertos, y no se sabia por qué
Eran los hermanos Mata, los que ahí estaban tendidos
Se mataron entre sí, el motivo fue un novillo
Que Jorge le mató a Pedro en su rancho El Potrerillo
Porque se metió a La Milpa, Jorge mató al animal
Y pedro le reclamó «hermano eso está muy mal»
Jorge sacó su pistola y le empezó a disparar
Le disparó tres balazos y Pedro así le decía
«Hermano, ¿qué estas haciendo, porqué me quitas la vida?
¿No te importa ver llorar a nuestra madre querida?»
Pedro era un hombre calmado, pero también muy valiente
Él no quería dispararle, pero ya sentía la muerte
También sacó su pistola y le dio un tiro en la frente
Su madrecita lloraba sin consuelo en el panteón
Por sus hijos adorados, que eran toda su ilusión
Unos dos días después Diosito se la llevó
Lyrics translation
State of Michoacan, it was almost nightfall
Four shots were heard and people ran to see
Two men were dead, and no one knew why
It was the Mata brothers, the ones lying there
They killed each other, the motive was a bull.
That Jorge killed Pedro at his ranch El Potrerillo
Because he got into the Milpa, George killed the animal
And Peter said to him, "brother, that's very wrong.»
Jorge pulled out his gun and started shooting at him
He shot him three shots, and Peter said So.
"Brother, what are you doing, why are you taking my life?
Don't you mind watching our dear mother cry?»
Peter was a calm man, but also very brave
He didn't want to shoot him, but he already felt death
He also pulled out his gun and shot him in the forehead
Her little mother cried without comfort in the pantheon
By his adored children, who were all his illusion
About two days later Diosito took her away
