I'm gonna sing a ballad, no offense and no speechesVoy a cantar un corrido sin agravio y sin discurso
About what happened in Tres Palos, a town near AcapulcoDe lo que paso en Tres Palos municipio de Acapulco

But his legacy was even greaterMás grande fue su resulto

His mother used to say, "Simon, don’t go to the dance"Su madre se lo decía Simon no vayas al baile
And Simon replied, "Mom, don’t be such a coward"Y Simón le contesto madre no seas tan cobarde
Why be so careful?Para que cuidarse tanto
Whatever happens, happensDe una vez lo que sea tarde

When Simon arrived at the danceCuando Simón llego al baile
He headed straight to the crowdSe dirigió a la reunión
