Lyrics
De Allende se despidio, con 21 años cabales
Gratos recuerdos dejo, al pueblo y a los rurales
Estaba Arnulfo sentado, en eso pasa un rural
Le dice «Oiga, ¿Qué me ve?,», la vista es muy natural
El rural muy ofendido, en la cara le pego
Con la pistola en la mano, con la muerte lo amago
Se agarraron a balazos, se agarraron frente a frente
Arnulfo con su pistola, 3 tiros le dio al teniente
El teniente malherido, casi para agonizar
Le dice: «Oiga, no se vaya, acábeme de matar»
Arnulfo se devolvió, para darle un tiro en la frente
Pero en la vuelta que dio, ahí le pego el teniente
Que bonitos son los hombres, que se matan pecho a pecho
Cada uno con su pistola defendiendo, sus derechos
El teniente era hombrecito, las pruebas las había dado
Pero se encontró a un gallito, que ese no estaba jugado
Arnulfo muy malherido, en un carro iba sangrando
Cuando llego al hospital, Arnulfo iba agonizando
Ya con esta me despido, pacíficos y rurales
Aquí termina el corrido del teniente y de González
Lyrics translation
De Allende said goodbye, 21 years old cabales
Happy memories I leave, to the village and to the rural
Arnulfo was sitting, in that passes a rural
He says, " Hey, what do you see?, "the view is very natural
The rural very offended, in the face I hit him
With the gun in my hand, with death I am amused
They clung to bullets, clung to face to face
Arnulfo with his gun, 3 shots gave the lieutenant
The badly wounded Lieutenant, almost to agonize
He says, " Hey, don't go, kill me.»
Arnulfo returned, to shoot him in the forehead
But on the turn he took, that's where the lieutenant hit him.
How beautiful are men, who kill each other chest to chest
Each with his gun defending, his rights
The lieutenant was a little man, the evidence he had given
But he found a rooster, that was not played
Arnulfo very badly hurt, in a car was bleeding
When I got to the hospital, Arnulfo was dying.
Already with this I bid farewell, peaceful and rural
Here ends the run of the lieutenant and Gonzalez
