Gratos recuerdos dejo, al pueblo y a los rurales,

Estaba Arnulfo sentado, en eso pasa un rural

Le dice oye que me ves, la vista es muy natural

He says, "Hey, what do you see? Seeing is very natural,"

El rural muy enojado, en la cara le pego

Con su pistola en la mano, con la muerte lo amago

With his gun in hand, he threatened him with death,

Arnulfo se levanto, llamándole la atención

Arnulfo stood up, getting his attention,

Le dijo oiga no se vaya, falta mi contestación

He said, "Hey, don't go away, my response is missing,"

Se agarraron a balazos, se agarraron frente a frente

They exchanged gunfire, facing each other,

Arnulfo, con su pistola, tres tiros le dio al teniente

Arnulfo, with his pistol, gave three shots to the lieutenant,

El teniente mal herido, casi para agonizar,

Pero en la vuelta que dio, ahí le pego el teniente

But in the turn he made, the lieutenant shot him there,

El teniente era muy hombre, las pruebas las había dado

Pero se encontró un gallito, ese no estaba jugado

Ya con esta me despido, pacíficos y rurales,

Aquí termina el corrido, del teniente y de González
