El Cabron Comandante
Oro Norteño Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando Apenas El Sol Se Asomaba
Preguntando Por Un Comandante
Que Violo A Su Mujer Y Su Hermana
Y Tambien Le Tumbo Unas Matitas
Que Cada Ano Se Las Compraba
Tambien Toro Por Una Pistola
El Siguio A La Santa
La Monto Y Agarro Su Camino
Camino Cuatro Noches Y Dias
Sin Dormir Sin Comer El Amigo
El Carrito Lo Vio Esta Manana
Y Se Vino Correrle A Avisarle
Ahí Paso Baldemar De Los Llanos
Va Buscando Un Cabron Comandante
Lleva Cara De Pocos Amigos
Dice Que Va A Partirle Su Madre
Lo Busco En Casi Todo El Estado
Alguien Dijo Lo Vio En Huatabampo
Como Ya El Alazan No Podia
Un Compadre Le Presto Su Carro
Lo Saco De Su Casa Ese Dia
Lo Llevo A Revisar Lo Sembrados
Culmino Ya La Historia Del Hombre
Aquel Cruel Que Violo A Su Familia
Lo Encontraron En Unos Trigales
Con La Cara Mirando Hacia Arriba
Mas De Treinta Balazos De Super
Con Que Hazana Le Quito La Vida
Contemplando Su Rancho Lo Han Visto
Recargado En Un Cerco De Alambre
Y Aunque Ya Se Vengo De La Infamia
Esas Cosas No Se Olvidan Facil
Y Si Han Visto Sonriendo Al Amigo
La Tristeza Se Lleva En La Sangre
