Lyrics

Quería saber que se siente
Un entierro con la banda
Y contrató una carrosa
El señor Francisco Estrada
Pidió que lo acompañara
Sus amigos de parranda
Hicieron un simulacro
De un entierro de a de veras
Tenía muchas mujeres
Que lo lloraban sinceras
Le tocaba La Costeña
La canción Puño De Tierra
Tocaban Las Golondrinas
Cuando iba bajando el petro
Y cuando abrieron la caja
Todos se soltaron riendo
Mas cual sería su sorpresa
Que Don Pancho estaba muerto
«Y esto pasó por allá en Sinaloa. Verdad que sí compadre Don Juan Rivera que no
estoy mintiendo»
Quiso jugar con la muerte
Y sucedió una tragedia
Esto que sirva de ejemplo
Decía Don Joaquín Rivera
Lo que le pasó a Don Pancho
Puede pasarle a cualquiera
Tocaban Las Golondrinas
Cuando iba bajando el petro
Y cuando abrieron la caja
Todos se soltaron riendo
Mas cual sería su sorpresa
Que Don Pancho estaba muerto

Lyrics translation

I wanted to know what it feels like
A funeral with the band
And he hired a carriage
Mr Francisco Estrada
He asked me to accompany him.
Your friends from parranda
They did a drill.
A real burial
He had a lot of women.
Who cried sincere
It was his turn to the coast
The land fist song
They Touched The Swallows
When I was going down the petro
And when they opened the box
They all let go laughing
But what would be his surprise
That Don Pancho was dead
"And this happened over there in Sinaloa. True yes compadre Don Juan Rivera that no
I'm lying.»
He wanted to play with death
And a tragedy happened
This will serve as an example
Said Don Joaquin Rivera
What happened to Don Pancho
It can happen to anyone
They Touched The Swallows
When I was going down the petro
And when they opened the box
They all let go laughing
But what would be his surprise
That Don Pancho was dead
