In the year '71Año del 71'
October was rolling onEl mes de octubre corria
In Reynosa, TamaulipasEn Reynosa Tamaulipas
As a new day brokeAl despuntar nuevo día
They shot Chito CanoHirieron a chito cano
No one knows who did itNo se sabe quien seria

How beautiful are the menQue bonitos son los hombres
You can't deny thatNo se les puede negar
Even after he fellAun despues de caido
He had the strength to speakTuvo la fuerza de hablar
Don't run, don't be cowardsNo corran no sean cobardes
Finish me off alreadyAcabenme de matar

With a bullet in his backCon un balazo en la espalda
He was still laughingEl todavía se reia
He didn't think they were so cowardlyNo los creía tan cobardes
Thugs or copsHampones o policias
They hit me from behindMe pegaron por la espalda
They couldn't face meDe frente no se podia

Chon García showed upSe presento Chon García
To talk to the copsA hablar con la judicial
To have Chito killedPara que maten a Chito
It'll be a job for themTrabajo les ha de dar
Just step out on the roadNomás salganle al camino
There'll be plenty of hatsSombreros han de sobrar

From Reynosa to MatamorosDe Reynosa a Matamoros
From Monterrey to LaredoDe Monterrey a Laredo
Be very carefulAnden con mucho cuidado
Agents and gunmenAgentes y pistoleros
I'm still Chito CanoTodavía soy Chito Cano
And I'm still not deadY todavía no me muero

With this, I say goodbyeYa con esta me despido
No grudges, no hard feelingsSin agravios ni rencores
What you lend comes backLo que se presta se paga
Keep this in mind, gentlemenTengan presente senores
If you throw the dagger to the skySi al cielo avientas la daga
It goes after the traitorsVa en busca de los traidores
