En un pueblito olvidado
In a forgotten little town
Hay una tumba escondida
There is a hidden tomb
Que nadien ha visitado
That no one has visited
Aunque parezca mentira
Believe it or not
De un general retirado
From a retired general
Voy a contarles su vida
I'm going to tell you about his life
Trinidad era su nombre
Trinidad was his name
Y Reyes su apelativo
And Reyes his nickname
Sabia manejar las armas
Knew how to handle weapons
Al ritmo de sus gatillos
To the rhythm of their triggers
Muchos perdieron la vida
Many lost their lives
De eso Parral fue testigo
Parral witnessed that.
Con ordenes de arrestarlo
With orders to arrest you
Mandaron a Luis García
They sent Luis Garcia
Solo con flores me llevas
Only with flowers you take me
Y fata ver todavía
And fata see still
Quien de los dos necesita
Who of the two needs
Las cuatro velas prendidas
The four lit candles
García en silencio quedo
Garcia remained silent
Pero al momento decía
But at the time it said
Antes de ser militar

Las reglas ya conocía

Perdone usted general
Excuse me general
Esta es su vida o la mía

Se miraron un momento

Todo en silencio quedo
All in silence
Y el general al sargento
And the general to the sergeant
Por el cuello lo agarro
By the neck I grab him
Todo paso tan violento

Que unos de los dos cayó

Solo un balazo se oyó

La bala zumbo en el viento

Reyes quiso disparar

Muerto cayo el general

Fue mas veloz el sargento
