Verse 1

Buenos Tardes, Amigo

Hola, my good friend

Cinco de Mayo's on Tuesday

And I'd hope we'd see each other again

This pattern remains constant throughout the song.

Verse 2

You killed my brother last winter

You shot him three times in the back

In the night, I still hear mama weeping

oh mama still dresses in black

Verse 3

I looked at every fiesta

For you I wanted to greet

Maybe I'd sell you a chicken

With poison interlaced in the meat

Verse 4

You you look like my brother

Mama loved him the best

He was head honcho with the ladies

Mama always said he was blessed

Verse 5

The village all gathered around him

They couldn't believe what they saw

I said it was you that had killed him

And that I'd find you and upstand the law

Verse 6

People of the village believed me

Mama she wanted revenge

I told her that I would see that she was honored

That I'd find you and put you to death

But the truth shall never be known
