Duelo de Valientes
Que triste estan mis amigos
Por lo que voy a cantar
Ellos fueron los testigos
De la tragedia de altar
Reconocia en Erasmo
Un hombre serio y formal
Del rancho de Don Renato
Era el mejor caporal
Vicente era atrabancado
Pero de gran corazón
Leonor la flor del poblado
Lo hizo perder la razón
Se encontraron frente a frente
Iba preciosa Leonor
Y al detenerla Vicente
Quizo abusar de su honor
Pero Leonor le contesta
De Erasmo tengo que ser
Al amigo se respeta
Eso tu lo has de saber
Vicente grito violento
Si conmigo no te vas
Por Dios santo que no miento
Tampoco para el seras
Vicente muy atrevido
Dos tiros le disparo
Cayo muerta sin sentido
Pero ella virgen murio
Después fue a buscar a Erasmo
Y Erasmo le contesto
Y entre aquella balacera
Por fin Vicente cayo
A la sombra de un durazno
Un corrido he de cantar
El de Vicente y Erasmo
Grandes amigos de altar
Brave Duel
How sad my friends are
For what I'm going to sing
They were the witnesses
Of the tragedy at the altar
I recognized in Erasmo
A serious and formal man
From Don Renato's ranch
He was the best foreman
Vicente was daring
But with a big heart
Leonor, the town's flower
Made him lose his mind
They met face to face
Leonor was beautiful
And as Vicente stopped her
He wanted to dishonor her
But Leonor replied
I have to be with Erasmo
A friend is respected
You should know that
Vicente shouted violently
If you don't come with me
By holy God, I'm not lying
Nor will you be for him
Vicente, very daring
Fired two shots
She fell dead senseless
But she died a virgin
Then he went to find Erasmo
And Erasmo replied
And in that shootout
Finally, Vicente fell
In the shade of a peach tree
I will sing a ballad
About Vicente and Erasmo
Great friends from the altar
