In eighteen hundred and six
There in the month of January
On the plains of Piame
Cypriano Armenteros fell
This is how it was
The town gathered to see
When the prisoner returned
Escorted by the troops
That Corporal Flores commanded
The people seeing him fallen
Of him He laughed and mocked
Armenteros in silence
He just looked and remained silent
The bandit's men
They rushed to the rescue
They passed through Calidonia
Early in the morning
Emeterio and Pascual Gómez
They paraded in the vanguard
Maderos took the center
And Facundo in the rearguard
The band attacked and' surprise
Their horses galloped
The troops slept in defense
The Spaniards were confident
When the shooting began
Armenteros was saved
Like this The old people tell it
This is how Cipriano escaped.
And they say they are looking for
Those who laughed at him
In the skin of those people
I don't want my brother to be here
And the earth trembles
Armenteros escaped
The windows are closed
They don't open even for money
All the doors locked
Oh, with the key of fear.
They passed through Calidonia
Early in the morning
See if they were afraid
Not even the roosters crowed
The white people are running
The black people are running
The whole world is praying
Oh, lighting ships in the towns
For the lakes of Seeing waters
They tell me that they saw it
The sun hid its rays
For fear of the bandit
