Translation
Voy a cantar un corrido sin agravio y sin discurso
I'm going to sing a corrido without offense and without speech
De lo que paso en Tres Palos municipio de Acapulco

Mataron a Simon Blanco
They killed Simon Blanco
Más grande fue su resulta

Su madre se lo decía Simon no vallas al baile
His mother used to tell him, "Simon, don't go to the dance"
Y Simon le contesto madre no seas tan cobarde
And Simon replied, "Mother, don't be so cowardly"
Para que cuidarse tanto
Why take care so much?
De una vez lo que sea tarde
Once and for all, whatever will be, will be late
Cuando Simon llego al baile
When Simon arrived at the dance
Se dirigió a la reunión
He went to the gathering
Todito le saludaron como era un hombre honor
Everyone greeted him as he was an honorable man
Se dijeron los Martínez callo en las redes el león

Simon Blanco, hombre entre los hombres
Simon Blanco, a man among men
Como a las dos de la tarde
Around two in the afternoon
Dio principio a la cuestión

Cuando con pistola en mano Adrian Pialon lo caso

O nísimos un compadre
Or similar, a godfather
Vilmente lo asesino

Como a los tres días de muerto
About three days after he died
Los Martinez fallecieron

Decían en su novenario
They said in their novena
Que eso encerraba un misterio

Porque al matar aun compadre

Era ofender al eterno

Mataron a Simon Blanco era un gallito de traba
