Lyrics
El 25 de julio, año del '85
Cuando se andaba paseando en su caballo retinto
Le dieron muerte a un valiente con una .45
Estado de Nuevo León, el pueblo de Cadereyta
A las 11 de la noche regresaba de una fiesta
Mas nunca se imaginaba que la muerte andaba cerca
Rodolfo Garza Pruneda, hombre de muy buena ley
Una vez mató a balazos a un policía en Monterrey
Y se peló pa' su tierra, no lo volvieron a ver
¡Y estos son los puros de Nuevo León, oiga!
Sus amigos lo apreciaban porque era un hombre sincero
Tenía un rancho muy bonito, era un rico ganadero
Su corrido favorito era Lamberto Quintero
Los que a Rodolfo mataron lo mataron por dinero
Sus asesinos sabían que sabía rajarse el cuero
Y si le hablaban de frente iban a sobrar sombreros
Ya me despido de ustedes, ya les canté a mi manera
El corrido de un buen gallo Rodolfo Garza Pruneda
El valiente siempre vive hasta que el cobarde quiera
Lyrics translation
July 25th, year of ' 85
When he was walking on his retinto horse
They killed a brave man with one .45
State of Nuevo Leon, The Village of Cadereyta
At 11 in the evening he returned from a party
But he never imagined that death was near
Rodolfo Garza Pruneda, man of very good law
He once shot and killed a cop in Monterrey.
And he peeled his land, they never saw him again
And these are the Nuevo Leon cigars, Hey!
His friends appreciated him because he was a sincere man
He had a very nice ranch, he was a rich rancher
His favorite corrido was Lamberto Quintero
Those who killed Rodolfo killed him for money
His killers knew he could crack his leather
And if they talked to him head-on, there'd be hats left over.
I say good-bye to you, I've sung to you in my own way
The cumshot of a good cock Rodolfo Garza Pruneda
The brave always lives until the coward wants
