El Corrido de Custodio
Desde Sonora venían, por los campos preguntando
¿Dónde se encuentra Custodio, que yo lo vengo buscando?
Llegó al pueblo de Guasave y ahí pasó todo el día
Y ahí le dieron razón, que allá en Las Brisas vivía
Agarró un carro de sitio, sin saber lo que cobraba
Pasaron por el Burrión, con el carro que volaba
Ay, pobrecito chofer, con miedo iba manejando
Porque sentía en sus costillas, un fierrito molestando
Cuando llegaron allá, dejan el carro por fuera
Les dieron las buenas noches, pa' que Custodio saliera
Deme una cigarrera, también una pepsicola
Mientras que se la servían, montó tiro a su pistola
Después que se las pagaron, lo invitaron a tomar
Con gusto los acompaño, nomás déjenme cenar
¿Para qué quieres cenar, si aquí te vas a morir?
Tú matastes a mi hermano y aquí te vas a morir
Custodio no era mal gallo, pero ahí se le durmió
A los primeros balazos, su pistola manoteó
Salió su mujer de adentro, con un niñito en los brazos
Han matado a mi marido, le dieron cinco balazos
Quítate de aquí, mujer, que me atormenta tu llanto
Ahí te encargo a mis hijitos, que sabes que quiero tanto
Señores, tengan presente, lo que en Las Brisas pasó
Un hombre desconocido a don Custodio mató
The Ballad of Custodio
From Sonora they came, asking through the fields
where Custodio is, as I come looking for him
They arrived at the town of Guasave and spent the whole day there
and there they were told, that he lived in the breezes.
He took a taxi, not knowing what he was charging
they passed by the burrion, with the flying car
oh poor driver, driving in fear
because he felt a little iron bothering his ribs.
When they arrived there, they left the car outside
gave him good evening, so Custodio would come out
give me a cigarette case, also a Pepsi
eas they served it to him, he pulled out his gun.
After they paid him, they invited him to drink
he gladly joined them, just let me have dinner
why do you want to have dinner, if you're going to die here
you killed my brother and here you will die.
Custodio was not a bad guy, but he fell asleep there
at the first shots, he reached for his gun
his wife came out from inside, with a little boy in her arms
they killed my husband, they shot him five times.
Get out of here woman, your crying torments me
I entrust you with my children, you know how much I love them
Gentlemen, remember, what happened in the breezes
an unknown man killed Mr. Custodio.
