El General Y El Sargento
En un pueblito olvidado hay una tumba escondida
que nadie 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 ded eso Parral fue testigo
Con ordenes de arrestarlo mandaron a Luis García
solo con flores me llevas y falta ver todavia
quien de los dos necesita las cuatro velas prendidas
García en silencio quedo pero al momento decía
antes de ser militar las reglas ya conocía
perdone usted general esta es su vida o la mía
Se miraron un momento todo en silencio quedó
y el general al sargento por el cuello lo agarró
todo pasó tan violento que uno de los dos cayó
Solo un balazo se oyó la bala silbó en el viento
Reyes quiso disparar pero falló en el intento
muerto cayó el general fue mas veloz el sargento.
The General and The Sergeant
In a forgotten little town there is a hidden tomb
that no one has visited, although it may seem unbelievable
of a retired general I will tell you his life
Trinidad was his name and Reyes his surname
he knew how to handle weapons to the rhythm of his trigger
many lost their lives, Parral was a witness to that
With orders to arrest him, Luis García was sent
'You only take me with flowers and we still need to see
who of the two needs the four lit candles'
García remained silent but then he said
before becoming a soldier, he already knew the rules
forgive me, general, this is your life or mine
They looked at each other for a moment, everything fell silent
and the general grabbed the sergeant by the neck
everything happened so violently that one of them fell
Only one shot was heard, the bullet whistled in the wind
Reyes tried to shoot but failed in the attempt
the general fell dead, the sergeant was faster.
