The Custody of Badillo
It seems that the people of Badillo
have become upset
because they want to change their relic.
br/>First it was a San Antonio, Enrique Maya did it
but what is different now, I will explain to you.
In Gregorio's house it was very safe,
a typical town relic colonial,
it was a beautiful, very large and heavy monstrance,
and now they want to change it for a light one.
They took it, they took it,
they took it, it's already lost (bis)
What happens is that an honest thief has it
what happens is that a honest man stole it.
Although they say that it is slander of the people of Badillo
they very rightly presented their evidence,
it is not the same size, nor does it weigh the same
they don't have the same color, so it's not her.
It seems that the inspector was afraid,
very afraid in this case to proceed,
because they still haven't said who the thief is
although everyone knows who they could be.
Surely it wasn't Me,
nor Alfonso López, nor Pedro Castro (bis)
Now it wasn't Enrique Maya who stole it
br/>and now they won't be able to say that it was a vallenato
they put poor Enrique Maya in prison
just because he borrowed San Antonio
And the one who stole the Chalice, They have done nothing to him
this crazy robbery was left buried
Now I am convinced that this fame thing
is still a problem, for those who have it
he wanted to fall sky above when Enrique Maya
but what is now more serious no one moves it.
They took her, they took her,
they took her, she is already lost (bis)
What happens is that an honest thief has it
what happens is that an honest person stole it
Oh! Compadre cola Jerre, when you have a party
man open your eyes wide to keep watch
with a 45 at the door of the Church
don't let anyone who has a cassock enter
And at the end of the mass they should go
from the priest down to search (bis)
