Arnulfo González

From Allende he returned, at 21 full years,De Allende se devolvió, con 21 años cabales,
He left pleasant memories, to the town and the rural folks,Gratos recuerdos dejo, al pueblo y a los rurales,

Arnulfo was sitting, when a rural man passed by,Estaba Arnulfo sentado, en eso pasa un rural
He said, 'Hey, what are you looking at? It's very natural'Le dice oye que me ves, la vista es muy natural

The rural man, very angry, hit him in the face,El rural muy enojado, en la cara le pego
With his gun in hand, he threatened him with death,Con su pistola en la mano, con la muerte lo amago

Arnulfo stood up, getting his attention,Arnulfo se levanto, llamándole la atención
He said, 'Hey, don't leave yet, my response is missing'Le dijo oiga no se vaya, falta mi contestación

They exchanged gunfire, facing each other,Se agarraron a balazos, se agarraron frente a frente
Arnulfo, with his gun, shot the lieutenant three times,Arnulfo, con su pistola, tres tiros le dio al teniente

The lieutenant badly wounded, almost dying,El teniente mal herido, casi para agonizar,
He said, 'Hey, don't leave yet, finish killing me'Le dijo oiga no se vaya, acábeme de matar

Arnulfo turned back, to shoot him in the forehead,Arnulfo se devolvió, a darle un tiro en la frente,
But as he turned, the lieutenant shot him there,Pero en la vuelta que dio, ahí le pego el teniente

The lieutenant was a true man, he had proven himself,El teniente era muy hombre, las pruebas las había dado
But he found a tough opponent, one who wasn't backing down,Pero se encontró un gallito, ese no estaba jugado

With this, I bid farewell, to the peaceful and rural folks,Ya con esta me despido, pacíficos y rurales,
Here ends the ballad, of the lieutenant and GonzálezAquí termina el corrido, del teniente y de González
