Lyrics

En Reynosa Tamaulipas
los hombres son decididos
por eso los recordamos
cantandoles sus corridos
han matado alla en Zacatecas
a un Federal de Caminos
Era de verdad muy hombre
al peligro desafiaba
honor le hacia al uniforme
y a la escuadra que cargaba
en las cachas tenia su nombre
Javier Peña se llamaba
Javier su deber cumplia
como poder olvidarlo
cuando sonriendo decía
da tristeza al recordarlo
que me canten los Bravos del Norte
el corrido de Gerardo
Recuerdo aquella mañana
por cierto era Martes 13
ponte el chaleco de malla
Javier le decia al Jefe
mas de pronto sonó una metralla
y a los dos les dieron muerte
No les dieron tiempo a nada
ya sabian que era valiente
les pusieron la emboscada
para poder darle muerte
a Javier el valor le sobraba
porque era del mero Norte
Javier su deber cumplia
como poder olvidarlo
cuando sonriendo decía
da tristeza al recordarlo
que me canten los Bravos del Norte
el Corrido de Gerardo.

Lyrics translation

In Reynosa Tamaulipas
men are determined
that's why we remember them.
singing their cum
they killed there in Zacatecas
to a federal roads
He was really very man
to the danger he defied
honor him to the uniform
and the squadron that was carrying
on the bunches he had his name
Javier Peña was called
Javier his duty fulfilled
how to forget it
when smiling he said
it makes you sad to remember it
let the brave of the North sing to me
El corrido de Gerardo
I remember that morning
by the way it was Tuesday the 13th
put on the mesh vest
Javier told The Boss
but suddenly a shrapnel rang out
and they both were killed
They didn't give them time for anything.
they knew I was brave.
they ambushed them.
to kill him
Javier had plenty of courage
because he was from the North
Javier his duty fulfilled
how to forget it
when smiling he said
it makes you sad to remember it
let the brave of the North sing to me
Gerardo's run.
