Lyrics
Voy a relatar la historia
De unos hechos criminales
La causa fue el contrabando
El grado todos lo saben
A muerto Santos Cantu
Lo matan los federales
El dia 15 de Junio
No me quisiera acordar
Rafagas de meltralletas
Se volvieron a escuchar
Soldados de panterilla
La judicial federal
En el rancho las tranquitas
Como a las 8 serian
Cuando paso una avioneta
Santos ya lo presentia
Agarrandose a valasos
Santos murio el mismo dia
Santos Cantu les gritaba
Cuando estaba mal herido
Soldados oh judiciales
Vengan acabar conmigo
Solamente asi son hombres
Porque nunca avian podido
Otro dia por la manana
Sus hermanos lo encontraron
Santos se encontraba muerto
Y su cuerpo levantaron
Lo llevaron a Monterrey
La capital del estado
Adios rancho las tranquitas
Mis hijos y mi senora
Adios compa Miguel Luis
Hiba para mi la gloria
Ya no le vuelvan a cantar
Esa Maria la traidora
Lyrics translation
I'm going to tell the story
Of criminal acts
The cause was smuggling
The degree everyone knows
A muerto Santos Cantu
He's killed by the feds.
June 15th
I don't want to remember
Meltrallet bursts
They heard each other again
Panterilla soldiers
The Federal judicial
At Las tranquitas Ranch
As at 8 would be
When I pass an airplane
Santos already saw it.
Clinging to ditches
Santos died the same day
Santos Cantu shouted at them
When he was badly hurt
Oh judicial soldiers
Come finish me
That's the only way they're men.
Because they never could
Another day in the morning
His brothers found him.
Santos was dead
And his body lifted
They took him to Monterrey.
The state capital
Adios rancho Las tranquitas
My children and my lady
Adios compa Miguel Luis
It was for me the glory
Don't ever sing to him again
That Mary the traitor
