Ballad of the Mendozas

Beto Quintanilla

Corrido de Los Mendoza

Hacienda de tierra blanca
Llegaste a ser muy famosa
Recuerdo atravez del tiempo
Cuando vivian los mendoza

Jose francisco era el nombre
De aquel rico apotentado y
Juan robaba un caballo
De la punta de un ganado

Cuando los pesco la ley
Con el cuerpo del delito
Cargo con 5 rurales a tiro
Limpio el solito

Me quedan dos en la carga y
Tres en la carrillera
Alcanse a llevarme cuatro
Antes de que me muriera

Con un balaso en el pecho
Era imposible escapar
Juan salvate si puedes
La sangre me quiere ahogar

Imposible abandonarte
O aquí quedamos los dos
No se puede vivir tanto
Contra las leyes de Dios

La muerte me está llevando
Quisiera hacer testamento
Lo que les robe a los ricos
No llega ni al 10 porciento

Mataron a los mendoza
La hacienda a quedado sola
No vieron donde quedaron
Nadie supo con la bola

Ballad of the Mendozas

White land estate
You became very famous
Memory through time
When the Mendozas lived

Jose Francisco was the name
Of that rich landowner
And Juan stole a horse
From the tip of a herd

When the law caught them
With the crime scene
He took down 5 rurales
All by himself

I have two left in the chamber
Three in the belt
I managed to take four
Before I died

With a bullet in the chest
It was impossible to escape
Juan save yourself if you can
The blood wants to drown me

Impossible to leave you
Or here we both stay
One cannot live so much
Against God's laws

Death is taking me
I would like to make a will
What I stole from the rich
Doesn't even reach 10 percent

They killed the Mendozas
The estate was left alone
They didn't see where they went
No one knew with the ball
