Los Tequileros

On the seventh of AugustEl día siete de agosto
What a significant dayQue día tan señalado
They killed three tequila drinkersMataron tres tequileros
The cops from the other sideLos rinches del otro lado

They came from GuerreroSalieron desde Guerrero
With tequila already spicedCon tequila ya anisado
The direction they were headingEl rumbo que ellos llevaban
Was the infamous San DiegoEra San diego mentado

They arrived at the Rio GrandeLlegaron al río bravo
And started to thinkSe pusieron a pensar
It's good to invite LeandroEs bueno invitar a Leandro
Because we're just twoPorque somos dos nomás

They went to invite LeandroFueron a invitar a Leandro
And he replied noY les contesto que no

I wouldn't want to goAsí no quisiera ir yo

After insisting so muchDespués de tanto insistirle
Leandro joined themLeandro los acompaño
In the Lomas de MirandaEn las Lomas de Miranda
He was the first to dieFue el primero que murió

They knocked Leandro off his horseTumban del caballo a Leandro
And wounded his armY a él le hieren de un brazo
He couldn't shoot backYa no les podía hacer fuego
He had several gunshot woundsTenía varios balazos

They shot at them all at onceLes tiraron a un tiempo
If they had knownLo hubieran de haber sabido
Jerónimo fell deadCalló Jerónimo muerto
Silvano very badly injuredSilvano muy mal herido
