Lyrics
Que los hombres son valientes, no se les puede negar
Lo digo por el corrido que ahorita voy a cantar
De un hombre que allá en la sierra quisieron asesinar
A un lado de Mazatlán ya lo estaban esperando
Un grupo de pistoleros tenía la orden de matarlo
Pero sabían que de frente no iban a poder lograrlo
Venía Manuel el Peinado y dos que lo acompañaban
Traían tres cuernos de chivo que sabían que no fallaban
Los tres eran de valor, no le tenían miedo a nada
Los tomaron por sorpresa y a uno lograron matar
Pero el Peinado y Cabala le supieron demostrar
Que eran hombres decididos que no se sabían rajar
Terminó la balacera y cinco muertos quedaron
Manuel llevaba tres tiros que no lograron tumbarlo
Y a los cuatro pistoleros al infierno los mandaron
Ya con esta me despido y un consejo voy a darles
Para matar a un valiente tienen que saber llegarle
Porque actuar sin precaución la vida puede costarles
Lyrics translation
That men are brave, they cannot be denied
I say it for the run that I'm going to sing right now
Of a man they wanted to kill back in the sierra
On the side of Mazatlan they were already waiting for him
A group of gunmen had orders to kill him.
But they knew they wouldn't be able to do it from the front
There came Manuel the hairdo and two who accompanied him
They brought three goat horns that they knew they didn't fail
All three were of value, they were not afraid of anything
They took them by surprise and one managed to kill
But the hairstyle and Cabala knew how to demonstrate
Who were determined men who couldn't crack
The shooting ended and five dead were left
Manuel had three shots that failed to knock him down
And the four gunmen were sent to hell
I'm going to say goodbye to this one, and I'm going to give you some advice.
To kill a brave man, they must know how to reach him.
Because acting without caution life can cost them
