The Ballad of Commander M-1

El Corrido del Comandante M-1

I'm gonna sing a ballad about Commander M-1Voy a cantar un corrido del comandante M-1
On February 20th, they went to assassinate himEl 20 de Febrero lo fueron a asesinar
I feel a great sorrow, they will always remember himSiento una pena muy grande siempre lo recordaran

Manuel Galán was the name of the national CommanderManuel Galán se llamaba Comandante nacional
They call him M-1, he never backed downLe dicen el M-1 nunca se supo rajar
Wherever he went, no one dared to face himDonde quiera se paseaba ninguno se le enfrentaba

When he left his house, he said goodbye to his wifeCuando salió de su casa se despidió de su esposa
He never imagined that death was waiting for himÉl nunca se imaginaba que la muerte lo esperaba
When he arrived, the drug traffickers had an ambush setAl llegar allá los narcos ya le tenían la emboscada

He went to open the office, found it openSe fue a abrir la oficina abierta la encontraba
And as the door got stuck, they shot him in the backY que se atora la puerta le disparo por la espalda
They shot him and left him lying thereLe tiraron un balazo y lo dejaron tirado

The ambulance picked him up, took him to the hospitalLo levanto la ambulancia al hospital lo llevo
The Commander was in critical condition, couldn't be savedEl comandante iba grave ya no se pudo salvar
The joy he had will never be forgottenLa alegría que tenía nunca lo van a olvidar

Commander M-2 cried and screamedEl comandante M-2 lloraba y daba de gritos
You're dead, M-1, you've finished your journeyYa te moriste M-1 ya acabaste el pasito
Your wife and children will never forget youSu esposa y con sus hijos nunca te van a olvidar

M-1's wife cried inconsolablyLa esposa del M-1 lloraba desconsolada
You're dead, M-1, you left me abandonedYa te moriste M-1 me dejaste abandonada
May the one who has you in heaven forgive youEl que te tiene en el cielo el que te haya perdonado

I'm gonna say goodbye with all my heartYa me voy a despedir con todo mi corazón
M-1 has died, he'll never returnYa se murió el M-1 ya nunca va a regresar
He bids farewell to La Marquesa, the security companySe despide de La Marquesa la empresa seguridad
