Los Tequileros

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

They came from GuerreroSalieron desde Guerrero
With tequila and anisetteCon tequila ya anisado
The path they were takingEl rumbo que ellos llevaban
Was to San Diego, you betEra San diego mentado

They reached the Rio GrandeLlegaron al río bravo
And started to thinkSe pusieron a pensar
It's good to invite LeandroEs bueno invitar a Leandro
'Cause it's just us two, I thinkPorque somos dos nomás

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

I really don't want to goAsí no quisiera ir yo

After much insistenceDespués de tanto insistirle
Leandro went alongLeandro los acompaño
In the Lomas de MirandaEn las Lomas de Miranda
He was the first to fall strongFue el primero que murió

They shot Leandro off his horseTumban del caballo a Leandro
And hit him in the armY a él le hieren de un brazo
He couldn't shoot backYa no les podía hacer fuego
He had several wounds, no charmTenía varios balazos

They fired at the same timeLes tiraron a un tiempo
If only they had knownLo hubieran de haber sabido
Jerónimo fell deadCalló Jerónimo muerto
Silvano was hurt to the boneSilvano muy mal herido

They asked for his nameLes preguntan por su nombre
And also where he livedTambién por su dirección

Quit asking me with such easeYa no me estén preguntando

Came close to Silvano's sideA Silvano se acerco
And in just a few secondsY en unos cuantos segundos
Silvano Gracia diedSilvano gracia murió

With this, I take my leaveYa con esta hay me despido
On my swift horse, I rideEn mi caballo ligero
They killed three fine roostersMataron tres gallos finos
