Dimas de León

One day, September 10th, on a Sunday that passedUn día 10 de septiembre, de un domingo que paso
In the Matamoros port, a night watchman killed himEn el puerto Matamoros, un velador lo mato

Dimas left Reynosa, in his prepared carDimas salió de Reynosa, en su carro preparado
To visit his lover, that's what he had plannedA visitar a su amante, así lo tenía pensado

Dimas and two companions, were drinking in a cabaretDimas y dos compañeros, en un cabaret tomaban
As they were afraid of him, everyone was getting readyComo le tenían miedo, ya todos se preparaban

The fearful night watchman, afraid Dimas would kill himEl velador temeroso, de que Dimas lo matara
Ordered the employees to disarm himMando llamar los empleados, para que lo desarmaran

First Adán and Cantú, took away his gunPrimero Adán y el Cantú, la pistola le quitaron
And also Cayetano, who they found in the carY también a Cayetano, que en el carro lo encontraron

They arrested Dimas, as he was about to interveneA Dimas lo detuvieron, cuando este iba a intervenir
They hit him from behind, didn't let him escapePor la espalda le pegaron, no lo dejaron salir

Suddenly Miguel Balderas, fired his gunDe pronto Miguel Balderas, su pistola disparo
With two accurate shots, pierced his skullDe dos balazos certeros, el cráneo le atravesó

Goodbye beloved Reynosa, pride of the borderAdiós Reynosa querido, orgullo de la frontera
Where Dimas used to stroll, with his gun visibleDonde Dimas se paseaba, con su pistola por fuera

With this, I bid you farewell, gentlemen of this regionYa con esta ahí me despido, señores de esta región
Here ends the ballad, Dimas de León has diedAquí termina el corrido, ya murió Dimas de León
