Paroles et traduction Ramón Ayala y Sus Bravos Del Norte - Corrido De Battling Torres

Corrido De Battling Torres

Año de '72, 10 de Noviembre corría
Cuando surgió la noticia, que Battling Torres moría
Se registró la tragedia, como a las 12 del día
Lo acribillaron a tiros, no se saben quien seria

En su auto lo balacearon, otro automóvil fantasma
Hampones desconocidos, le destrozaron su alma
Raymundo Battling que fuera, un boxeador reino censé
Que dios lo guarde en el cielo, aclama toda la gente

Adiós todos mis amigos, yo los espero en el cielo
Madrecita, hijo y esposa, que dios los guarde en su seno
Ai te dejo madrecita, con el alma al dolorida
Yo ya me voy con diosito, ya me privaron la vida

Sus amigos le decían, ya te vas a descansar
Te seguiremos queriendo, como campeón nacional
Vuela, vuela palomita, lleva a su tumba una flor
Estas son las mañanitas, de Battling el boxeador

Battling Torres Corrido

In the year '72, on November 10th
The news broke out, that Battling Torres was dead
The tragedy took place, around 12 noon
They shot and killed him, but who it was, is still unknown

They shot him in his car, by another mysterious car
Unknown thugs, they destroyed his soul
Raymundo Battling, a boxing king he was
May God keep him in heaven, is what everyone prays

Goodbye to all my friends, I'll wait for you in heaven
Mother, son, and wife, may God keep you in his bosom
Oh, I leave you, mother, with my soul in pain
I'm leaving with God, they have taken my life

His friends told him, you're going to rest now
We will continue to love you, as our national champion
Fly, fly little dove, take a flower to his grave
These are the morning songs, of Battling the boxer
