Lyrics
al cantar este corrido
le pido permiso al cielo
a carmelo an confundido
y luego muerte le dieron
encuentran al fugitivo
y muy tarde lo supieron
heran hermanos gemelos
y a la ves muy diferentes
tomas era desalmado
y carmelo era desente
por los echos de su hermano
el murio siendo inocente
no quisieron perdonarlo
mucha gente avia ofendido
carmelo ya le avia dicho
tomas no seas acesino
que con la bara que mides
con esa seras medido
matava gente por gusto
porque lo sentia como hambre
viendo morir se reia
decia boy a deleitarme
y gritbaba de alegria
cuando veia correr la sangre
tomas creia que era eterno
pero el dia se le llego
lo triste fue que su hermano
junto con el se murio
carmelo no era hombre malo
y la gente lo lloro
vuela vuela palomita
por sobre de esos cerritos
anda a llevarle consuelos
a esos pobres viejesitos
que lloran sobre las tumbas
donde descanzan sus hijos
Lyrics translation
by singing this corrido
I ask Heaven's permission
to carmelo an confused
and then death gave him
find the fugitive
and very late they knew
Heran twin brothers
and you see very different
tomas was heartless
and Carmel was desente
by his brother's actions
he died innocent
they wouldn't forgive him.
many people had offended
carmelo already told you
take it don't be acesino
than with the coffin you measure
with that you will be measured
he killed people for pleasure.
because I felt like I was hungry.
watching him die laughing
I said boy to delight me
and he screamed with joy
when I saw the blood running
tomas believed it was eternal
but the day has come
the sad thing was that his brother
along with him he died
Carmel was not a bad man
and people mourn him
fly fly pigeon
over those hills
go get him some comfort.
to those poor old men
weeping over the graves
where their children descend
