Lyrics
Al otro lado del puente
De La Piedad, Michoacn
Viva Gilberto el Valiente
Nacido en Apatzingn
Siempre con un perro negro
Que era su noble guardin
Quera vivir con la Lupe
La novia de don Julin
Hombre de mucho dinero
Acostumbrado a mandar
El ya saba de Gilberto
Y lo pensaba matar
Un da que no estaba el perro
Lleg buscando al rival
Gilberto estaba dormido
Ya no volvi a despertar
En eso se oy un aullido
Cuentan de un perro del mal
Era el negro embravecido
Que dio muerte a Don Julin
All quedaron los cuerpos
Lupita no fue a llorar
Cort las flores mas lindas
Como pa' hacer un altar
Y las llev hasta una tumba
Del panten municipal
All estaba echado un perro
Sin comer y sin dormir
Quera mirar a su dueo
No le importaba vivir
As murio el perro negro
Aquel enorme guardin
Que quiso mucho a Gilberto
Y dio muerte a don Julin
Lyrics translation
Across the bridge
Of Mercy, Michoacn
Long Live Gilberto The Brave
Born in Apatzingn
Always with a black dog
That he was his noble guardin
Want to live with the Lupe
Don Julin's girlfriend
Big money man
Accustomed to command
The ya saba of Gilberto
And I was going to kill him.
A da that was not the dog
I come looking for the rival
Gilberto was asleep
I never woke up again
In that you hear a howl
They tell of an evil dog
He was the angry negro.
Who Killed Don Julin
All the bodies were left
Lupita didn't go to cry
Cort the most beautiful flowers
How to make an altar
And takes them to a grave
Of the municipal panten
All I was laying a dog
Without eating and without sleeping
He wants to look at his pain
He didn't mind living
Ace died the Black Dog
That huge guard
Who loved Gilberto very much
And Killed Don Julin
