Corrido de Lucio Vazquez

Ballad of Lucio Vazquez

Corrido de Lucio Vazquez

The peacocks flew towards the wet mountainsVolaron los pavorreales rumbo a la sierra mojada
They killed Lucio Vazquez for a woman he lovedMataron a lucio vazquez por una mujer que amaba
At eleven o'clock at night when Lucio was having dinnerA las once de la noche que lucio estaba cenando
Some friends arrived to invite him to a partyLlegaron unos amigos para invitarlo a un fandango
His mother would tell him, my heart warns me, son don't go to the danceSu madre se lo decia me lo avisa el corazon hijo no vayas al baile
Beware of betrayalCuidate de una traicion
Don't cry, dear mother, your crying torments me, I'm going to dance with the young womanNo llores madre querida que me atormenta tu llanto voy a bailar con la joven
That you know I adore so muchQue sabes que adoro tanto
They rode their horses towards the wet mountains where the young woman wasMontaron a sus caballos rumbo a la sierra mojada donde se allaba la joven
That Lucio adored so muchQue lucio tanto adoraba
When they arrived at the dance, Lucio didn't want to drink, one invited him to a drinkCuando llegaron al baile lucio no quiso tomar uno le invito a una copa
Another stabbed him with a knifeOtro le clavo un puñal
They gave him two stabs from the back to the heart, just like his mother told himLe dieron dos puñaladas de la espalda al corazon como le dijo su madre
He was killed in betrayalLo mataron a traicion
The peacocks flew towards the wet mountainsVolaron los pavorreales rumbo a la sierra mojada
They killed Lucio Vazquez for a woman he lovedMataron a lucio vazquez por una mujer que amaba
