Hermanos Bocanegra
Dentro de la historia, de los criminales,
Traigo este corrido, que hoy vengo cantando
Es una tragedia, de hermanos carnales,
Que a una pobre madre, han dejado llorando
Eran roberto y rubén bocanegra
Estos dos hermanos, de quien voy a hablar
Que un día el destino y suerte traicionera
Como dos rivales, los vino a enfrentar
Allá por el norte, recuerdo un pueblito,
Por unos terrenos, los dos discutían
Roberto quería quitarle a rubén
Lo que ante la ley, le pertenecía
Que golpe tan duro pa’ la pobre madre,
Que en aquella hora, se hallaba presente
Vio morir sus hijos, con las mismas armas
Que el padre les diera, antes de su muerte
Una viejecita, ha quedado muy sola,
Muy triste se encuentra, sin consuelo hallar
Llorando y rezando se pasa las horas
Por sus lindos hijos, que en el cielo están
Bocanegra Brothers
Within the history, of the criminals,
I bring this ballad, that I come singing today
It's a tragedy, of flesh and blood brothers,
Who have left a poor mother crying
They were Roberto and Rubén Bocanegra
These two brothers, of whom I'm going to talk
That one day destiny and treacherous luck
Like two rivals, came to face them
Back in the north, I remember a little town,
They were arguing over some lands
Roberto wanted to take from Rubén
What rightfully belonged to him under the law
What a hard blow for the poor mother,
Who was present at that moment
She saw her sons die, with the same weapons
That their father had given them before his death
An old lady has been left very alone,
She is very sad, unable to find solace
Crying and praying, she spends the hours
For her beautiful sons, who are in heaven
