Lyrics
En un pueblito olvidado
Ay una tumba escondida
Que nadien ha visitado
Aunque parezca mentira
De un General retirado
Voy a contarles su vida
Trinidad era su nombre
Y Reyes su apelativo
Sabía manejar las armas
Al ritmo de su gatillo
Muchos perdieron la vida
De eso paral fue testigo
Con órdenes de arrestarlo
Mandaron a Luis García
Solo con flores me llevas
Y falta ver toda vía
Quien de los 2 necesita
Las 4 velas prendidas
García en silencio quedo
Pero al momento decía
Antes de ser militar
Las reglas ya conocían
Perdone usted General
Esta es su vida o la mía
Se miraron un momento
Todo el silencio quedo
Y el General al Sargento
Por el cuello la agarro
Todo paso tan violento
Que uno de los dos callo
Solo un balazo se hoyo
La bala silbo en el viento
Reyes quiso disparar
Pero fallo en el intento
Muerto callo en General
Fue más velos el Sargento…
Lyrics translation
In a little forgotten village
A hidden tomb
That nadien has visited
Even if it sounds like a lie
From a retired General
I'm going to tell you his life
Trinidad was his name
And Kings his name
He knew how to handle guns.
To the beat of your trigger
Many lost their lives
That's what paral witnessed.
With warrants to arrest him
They sent Luis Garcia.
Only with flowers you take me
And you have to see all the way
Who of the 2 needs
The 4 candles lit
Garcia quietly stayed
But at the time he was saying
Before being a military man
The rules already knew
Forgive you, General.
This is your life or mine
They looked at each other for a moment
All the silence remained
And the General to the sergeant
By the neck I grab her
Every step so violent
That one of the two callos
Only one shot went into the hole.
The bullet whistles in the wind
Kings wanted to shoot
But failed to try
Dead callus in General
It was more veils the sergeant…
