Voy a cantar por mi gusto no crean que por compromiso
I'm going to sing for my pleasure, don't think it's for commitment
Voy a contarles la historia del mentado Cocoliso
I am going to tell you the story of the aforementioned Cocoliso
Que lo mataron a palos por una jugada que hizo
That they beat him to death for a play he made
Él era ya hombre casado, pero seguía en las andadas
He was already a married man, but he continued in his ways
Rondaba muchos las viudas y las mujeres casadas
There were many widows and married women around
Como tenía billetiza caían las interesadas
As I had money, the interested parties fell
El día que lo mataron, estaba bajo de un puente
The day they killed him, he was under a bridge
Como no tenía cabello brillaba mucho su frente
Since he had no hair, his forehead shone a lot
Andaba en lucha de hacerse de la mujer de un teniente
He was struggling to become the wife of a lieutenant
Tres hombres muy ofendidos cada quien llevaba un palo
Three very offended men each carrying a stick
Lo siguieron por el río hasta lograr alcanzarlo
They followed him down the river until they reached him
Le dieron en la pelona pobre pelón lo mataron
They hit him in the head, poor guy, they killed him
Señores este corrido ya terminé de cantarlo
Gentlemen, I have finished singing this corrido
Tres hombres en la prisión está un teniente apenado
Three men in prison is a grieving lieutenant
El pobre del Cocoliso ya se encuentra sepultado.'
The poor man from Cocoliso is already buried.'
