Los Tres Gallos
Procedentes de Jalisco
Llegaron a Mazatlán
Eran tres gallos jugados
Que les gustaba pasear
Eran hombres del momento
No les gustaba esperar
Dijo Abelardo a Eliseo
Esto no me está gustando
Oigo graznidos de buitre
Allá por el centenario
Avísale a Javier Barba
Que se vaya preparando
Como a las 2 de la tarde
Le dieron muerte a Abelardo
Después le tocó a Eliseo
Los mataron a mansalva
Hubo soldados heridos
También hirieron a Barba
Sabes una cosa
Decía Javier malherido
Cuando casi agonizaba
No llegaron los amigos
Los que tanto me apreciaban
Si estuviera aquí el Corita
Otro gallo nos cantará
Cómo la ves marinero
Cayeron tres tiburones
Cayeron fuera del agua
Por unos dedos traidores
La envidia no es buen pesebre
Para engordar camarones
Adiós Javier y Abelardo
También al güero Salcido
Porque eran tres gallos finos
Les dedicó este corrido
Que vivieron a su modo
Y ni modo, los perdimos
The Three Roosters
From Jalisco they came
To Mazatlán they arrived
They were three bold roosters
Who loved to strut around
They were the men of the hour
Didn’t like to wait around
Abelardo said to Eliseo
This isn’t feeling right
I hear the cawing of vultures
Over by the centennial
Tell Javier Barba
To get ready for a fight
Around 2 in the afternoon
They killed Abelardo
Then it was Eliseo’s turn
They took them down like dogs
There were soldiers wounded
Barba also got shot
You know what?
Javier said, badly hurt
As he was near death
The friends never showed up
The ones who cared for me
If Corita were here
Another rooster would sing for me
What do you think, sailor?
Three sharks went down
They fell out of the water
By a few treacherous fingers
Envy isn’t a good feed
To fatten up shrimp
Goodbye Javier and Abelardo
Also to güero Salcido
Because they were three fine roosters
This corrido is for them
They lived life their way
And well, we lost them
