José López
Salió de Montemorelos
Para el pueblo de Linares
Iba a la Hacienda del Carmen
A ver a sus familiares
Al café donde llegaron
Los trataron de bandidos
Avísenle a los empleados
Que esos son desconocidos
Llegaba la policía
Llamándoles rendición
Yo no me le rindo a nadie
Soy del Carmen, Nuevo León
El señor Pedro Ledesma
No hallaba ni que pensar
No hallaba si perseguirlos
O devolverse a avisar
Se agarraron a balazos
Como ya lo saben bien
Quedando López herido
Y el comandante también
Su pobre madre lloraba
Lloraba su gran pensar
Que de los hombres valientes
La tragedia ha de quedar
Vuela y vuela palomita
Vuela por toda la vía
Ha muerto ya José López
Rival de la policía
José López
He left Montemorelos
To the town of Linares
He was going to Hacienda del Carmen
To see his relatives
At the café where they arrived
They were treated as bandits
Tell the employees
That they are unknown
The police were arriving
Calling for surrender
I don't surrender to anyone
I'm from Carmen, Nuevo León
Mr. Pedro Ledesma
Couldn't even think
Couldn't decide whether to pursue them
Or go back to warn
They engaged in a shootout
As you already know
Leaving López wounded
And the commander as well
His poor mother cried
Cried with great sorrow
That of brave men
Tragedy will remain
Fly, little dove, fly
Fly along the way
José López has already died
A rival of the police
