Corrido de Luis Pulido

Ballad of Luis Pulido

Corrido de Luis Pulido

From the ranch La PeñaDe allá del rancho La Peña
I bring you the new balladLes traigo el nuevo corrido
For making signalsPor andar haciendo señas
They killed Luis PulidoMataron a Luis Pulido
And who would have guessedY quién iba a imaginarse
That a friend would do him inQue lo matara un amigo

The party was livelyAlegre estaba la fiesta
They were celebrating a weddingSe celebraba una boda
Pulido was pretty drunkPulido ya muy tomado
Making eyes at the brideLe hacía señas a la novia
Sometimes he wanted to kiss herA veces quería besarla
As if she were all aloneComo si estuviera sola

Antonio was really offendedAntonio muy ofendido
Trying to set things straightQueriendo allanar la cosas
Luis, if you're my friendLuisito si eres mi amigo
Respect my wife a bit moreRespeta más a mi esposa

Pulido let out a shoutPulido se tira un grito
That echoed through the whole ranchQue se oye en el rancho entero
The woman I wantA mí la hembra que me cuadra
I want her because I want herLa quiero porque la quiero
And if someone gets in my wayY si alguien se me atraviesa
I'll send them straight to St. PeterSe lo despacho a San Pedro

They started shootingSe agarraron a balazos
At point-blank rangeSe dieron a quemarropa
Pulido fell deadCayó bien muerto Pulido
Blood pouring from his mouthY echo sangre por la boca
Antonio was just woundedAntonio nomás herido
But he almost got it tooPero por poco y le toca

Pulido lost his lifePulido perdió la vida
Antonio came out on topAntonio ganó a la buena
That's how it always ends for a manAsí acaba siempre el hombre
Who goes after another man's womanQue siga mujer ajena
