El Federal de Caminos
En Reynosa Tamaulipas
Los hombres son decididos
Por eso los recordamos cantándoles sus corridos
Han matado allá en zacatecas
A un federal de caminos
Era de verdad muy hombre
Al peligro desafiaba
Honor le hacía al uniforme
Y la escuadra que el cargaba
En sus cachas tenía su nombre
Javier peña se llamaba
Javier su deber cumplía
Como poder olvidarlo
Cuando sonriendo decía
Da tristeza al recordarlo
Que me canten los bravos del norte
El corrido de Gerardo
Recuerdo aquella mañana
Por cierto era martes 13
Ponte el chaleco de maya
Javier le decía al jefe
Más de pronto sonó una metralla
Y a los 2 le dieron muerte
No le dieron tiempo a nada
Ya sabían que era valiente
Le tendieron la emboscada
Para poder darle muerte
A Javier el valor le sobraba
Porque era del mero norte
Javier su deber cumplía
Como poder olvidarlo
Cuando sonriendo decía
Da tristeza al recordarlo
Que me canten en tierra caliente
El corrido de Gerardo
The Federal Highway Officer
In Reynosa Tamaulipas
Men are determined
That's why we remember them by singing their ballads
They killed a federal highway officer
There in Zacatecas
He was truly a man
He defied danger
He honored the uniform
And the gun he carried
On its grips had his name
His name was Javier Peña
Javier fulfilled his duty
How could we forget him
When smiling he would say
It's sad to remember
Let the brave ones from the north sing to me
The ballad of Gerardo
I remember that morning
It was indeed Tuesday the 13th
Put on the mesh vest
Javier told the boss
But suddenly a shot rang out
And both were killed
They didn't give him any time
They already knew he was brave
They set up the ambush
To be able to kill him
Javier had plenty of courage
Because he was from the true north
Javier fulfilled his duty
How could we forget him
When smiling he would say
It's sad to remember
Let them sing to me in the hot land
The ballad of Gerardo
